It was after ten pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting going over the recent golf rankings, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Llandevaud and filled petrol in her diesel modern Cadillac STS-V rental by mistake. She was quite agitated it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe area and, as it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we were able to find the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the motel she was staying at. Even though we got very wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive home contented and a lot less concerned. Another job in Newport well done in my books!

Wrong Fuel in Car Llandevaud - Llandevaud Misfuelling

The owner of a teal Isuzu i-370 was regretfull that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle when he got as far as the street and it spluttered and ground to a halt. "I've gone and put the wrong fuel in my diesel vehicle," is what he shared with us the initial time he called. In all honesty, when he initially telephoned us he said he would like to shop around, but he called us back shortly because our rate and on-scene times were the most appropriate. Naturally, our engineer had him once again carrying out his deliveries within the period we'd cited.

A gentleman had broken down off a street in Llandevaud. His work's BMW M Roadster engine had ceased operating and he'd no idea what was awry right up until he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car. He rang us to request a fuel drain and that is when he said to us: "I can't believe that I didn't realise that I put the wrong fuel in my car." He said that he had gotten zero sleep the evening before and that must have been the reason why.

"I put petrol instead of diesel which probably wasn't a wonderful start to our holiday." It was really no challenge in the least for our technician to go out and carry out the fuel drain.

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.
