It was about 9 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and I were relaxing there talking over the rugby results, prepared for the seventh job to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Skenfrith and put petrol in a diesel apple green Citron Picasso rental by mistake. She was quite affected it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately happen.

Wrong Fuel in Car Skenfrith - Skenfrith Misfuelling

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Tuesday and I was en route to help an older sweetheart who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel boss' Mercedes SL-Class in Skenfrith. I'd been told she had left the petrol station and was stranded along a backwater road on route to visit her family. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and arrived within 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car using diesel seeing that I had only acquired it a short while ago right after my old car, which I'd used for over twenty years, eventually died". I got the job completed and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a precious Monmouthshire woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Skenfrith - Wrong Fuel in Car Skenfrith

I had a great evening fishing during my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful the next day as I set off to assist a new couple on vacation in Skenfrith. They'd stopped after putting the wrong fuel into their customised Porsche Boxster, and the car was close to an hour's drive away. I turned up at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the wife chastising her husband for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this occurs quite frequently in Monmouthshire and that it's really nothing at all to get worried about, even so he all the same got an ear bashing by his missus. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed bon voyage and wondered what my missus would tell me in the event that I made the exact same error... I would never hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car Skenfrith - Petrol in Diesel Car Skenfrith

It can't be fun conking out in a car contaminated with the wrong fuel halfway down the road. One of our most recent customers who filled up her tank with the wrong fuel (dark red BMW 530) in Skenfrith had exactly that type of difficulty: "Your technician got my motor from the road. He drained it and had it functioning once more inside of a half hour. Highly recommended."

A gentleman phoned us from his classic BMW 330 where he had ground to a halt on the congested road. "I incorrectly put unleaded in my diesel car and I soon realised it a couple of miles along the road!" Happily we were able to attend him in a rather quick time, bearing in mind the fact it was rush-hour, and he was shortly back behind the wheel.

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.
