It was before 9 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting talking over the recent football rankings, waiting around for the sixth job that day to come in. Finally we received a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Llantilio Pertholey and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel apple green Renault Twingo rental car. The poor lady was quite irritated apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected spot and, since it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the motel she was staying in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home calm and not so stressed. A fuel drain in Monmouthshire done well in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel in Car Llantilio Pertholey - Llantilio Pertholey Misfuelling

What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a warm Tuesday and I was on the way to help an old lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel rust red Citron in Llantilio Pertholey. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded along a rural lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I punched her location straight into the Satnav and got there within an hour or so. I got to the car and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel because I'd only just got it a couple of days ago because my previous car, which I'd owned for over 25 years, finally gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Monmouthshire woman!

A customer from Llantilio Pertholey with a full car of youngsters in her diesel son's Volkswagen Jetta III had put £20 of petrol at the Co Op service station. She contacted us sobbing and very distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We reassured her that everything would be fine and that she would be back in action soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly brightened up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the children in the back."

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.
