It was around 9 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting discussing the weekend's golf rankings, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Pontrhydyfen and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel burgundy red VW Passat hire car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly often happen. She managed to move the car to a secure area and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we could reach her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Neath Port Talbot done well in my mind!

A driver from Pontrhydyfen with her youngsters in her diesel cobalt blue Lexus IS F had put £30 of petrol at the Shell station. She phoned us crying and genuinely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and did not know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We reassured her that all should be ok and that she would be back ready to go quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she discovered that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She quickly cheered up and was on her way saying, "I simply can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the children on board."

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.
