I'd had a fantastic evening hiking during my off day and felt delighted with myself the following working day as I set out to help a young family vacationing in Felindre. They'd stopped after inserting petrol into their gorgeous Jeep Compass, and they were approximately half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their car and smiled while I heard to the wife telling her spouse off for being so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on on daily basis in Swansea and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to be anxious about, and yet he all the same got an earful. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted goodbye and wondered what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the very same error... I would personally never hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car Felindre - Petrol in Diesel Car Felindre

We not too long ago had a phone call from a guy who put the wrong fuel in his canary yellow VW Scirocco in Felindre. He had conked out on the road. "I couldn't believe how quick you were in sending a technician out to aid me when I foolishly filled my diesel car with unleaded. Thank you ever so much". It goes without saying that we got there punctually and flushed the engine after draining all the unleaded from the diesel tank. On arrival the engineer said the motorist was scowling, but was really happy when we finished.

This was what we call the night shift. It was around 3am and nobody was stirring. It had become rather quiet thus far, and Paul and I were relaxing browsing a couple of old papers. This was an unusual quiet moment in Swansea. Actually it was indeed that tranquil that when the telephone finally rang I jumped! The voice explained: "I only just finished my night shift and incredibly put petrol in a navy blue Suzuki Swift by mistake". We got him to let us know where exactly he was and we headed out, getting to him in Felindre an hour later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the car and he thanked us for coming out so promptly. As we were returning home we found two young ladies at the side of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their delight.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refuelled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfuelled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
