It was just after 5 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and me were seated there talking over the weekend's golf, waiting around for the seventh call to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Llanrumney and put the wrong fuel in a diesel work's Seat Ibiza lease car. The poor thing was rather irritated apparently, crying "I still can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things often happen. She was able to get the car into a safe area and, as it was just a few miles from us, we could find the lady without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away calm and not so anxious. Another job in Cardiff done well in my books!

Ahhh, that was a good night's sleep! 7:00 am on a gloomy Sunday and I was on my way to assist an older sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel metallic grey Ford C-MAX Hybrid in Llanrumney. I'd been advised she drove away from the petrol station and pulled up in a country lane on the way to visit her godchildren. I got her location plugged in the TomTom and got there within an hour. I turned up at the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said, "Now I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel since I'd only just got it a few days back when my old car, which I'd owned for in excess of twenty five years, inevitably broke down". I completed the drain and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks. What a precious Cardiff lady!

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.
