We not too long ago had a phone call about a young man who had put the incorrect fuel in his metallic yellow Volkswagen GTI in Llancarfan. He had broken down on the street. "It was incredible how quick you were in getting an engineer out to assist me after I foolishly unleaded in my diesel car. I'm very grateful". It goes without saying that we got there promptly and purged the engine after draining the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. When he arrived the engineer said the motorist was raging, but was pleased when we finished.

It truly was an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was about dawn and hardly anyone was about. It had been fairly quiet up to now, and Paul and I were relaxing browsing a number of old papers. This was an uncommon quiet hour in The Vale of Glamorgan. Actually it was so tranquil that the instant my mobile eventually rang it made me start! The voice explained: "I've ended my evening shift and foolishly poured petrol in the diesel new-shape Dodge Ram in error". We instructed him to inform us where exactly the vehicle was situated and we headed out, reaching him in Llancarfan 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the motor. He thanked us profusely for showing up so promptly. While we were coming back to base we saw two ladies on the edge of the road who seemed to have a puncture. So we got out to change it, to their elation.

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.
