Eventually we got the call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Summerleaze and filled petrol in a diesel mint green Honda CR-Z lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty agitated apparently, stating "I still can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!"

Wrong Fuel in Car Summerleaze - Summerleaze Misfuelling

Just had a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Sunday and we were on my way to help an old sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel mate's Lexus LX in Summerleaze. I'd been advised she drove away from the filling station forecourt and stranded in a backwater lane along the way to see her family. I punched her location straight into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour. I got to the car and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd only acquired it a few days back right after my former car, which I used for about 25 years, finally broke down". I completed the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Newport lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Summerleaze - Petrol in Diesel Car Summerleaze

A young person who had only recently passed his driving test had misfueled his faithful Volkswagen GTI by getting petrol in his diesel vehicle at the station near Summerleaze. He said, "This is just the third time I have fuelled my car since I got it and I have no idea of how to handle it." He was also anxious since his step father had just recently paid for the car. He found our company on the web and so called us without delay, scared about what he needed to do. Our individual on the telephones informed him that we could be there within forty-five minutes and to not start the vehicle while waiting.

A woman working in Summerleaze phoned us as soon as she tried to get her misfueled vehicle to her office. She had filled unleaded in her diesel immaculate Renault Espace and, like many before her, thought that she could just fill up the car with diesel and it'd be no problem. The car was spluttering and then it cut out when she arrived at the the front of her office. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed in one hour whilst she was in the office. She came out when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm really relieved you repaired my car."

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.
