Wrong Fuel in Car Fochriw - Fochriw Misfuelling

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Tuesday and we were en route to assist an older sweetheart after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel grey Volvo960 in Fochriw. I had been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up on a backwater road en route to pay a visit to her family. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she told me, "I have been getting rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel since I'd only just acquired it a few days back because my other one, which I owned for over thirty years, finally stopped working". I got the drain done and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks. What a pleasant Caerphilly lady!

A teen who had only got his licence had misfueled his rugged Hyundai Entourage by putting unleaded in the diesel vehicle at the service station close to Fochriw.

He was worried because his step father had just purchased him the car. He came across us on the net and so called it without delay, scared about what he needed to do.

A young lady from Fochriw with a full car of children in her diesel friend's Peugeot 407 had filled her vehicle with £40 of petrol at the BP filling station. She phoned us sobbing and very upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and did not know what could happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that all would be fine and that she would be on the road quickly. When we got there she was visible distressed but while our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she recognised that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly cheered up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the youngsters on board."

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.
