It was after 8 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting around for the next call for the day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Heronston and put petrol in her diesel metallic blue Chrysler PT Cruiser rental. The poor lady was quite agitated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this often happen. She managed to get the car to a protected spot and, as it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could arrive at the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in The Vale of Glamorgan done well in my opinion!

She had filled petrol in her diesel precious Chevrolet Silverado and, like countless prior to her, thought that she would be able to basically fill up the tank with diesel and it'd be alright. The engine was chugging and then it cut out when she got to the entrance of her work. We promptly started on the fuel drain following her call and had it repaired inside an hour or so whilst she was working.

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.
