It was about 7 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were sitting there going over the golf rankings, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Trecynon and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel brother's Suzuki Swift hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly troubled it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe area and, because it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could return to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. One more job in Rhondda Cynon Taf done well in my books!

Wrong Fuel in Car Trecynon - Trecynon Misfuelling

Ahhh, that was a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a sunny Saturday and we were on the way to assist an older lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel raspberry red Ford Transit in Trecynon. I had been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and broken down in a country road on the way to visit her grandchildren. I punched the location straight into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I got to the car and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "I am getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only got it several days ago right after my previous one, which I had used for in excess of 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she gave me a peppermint and said thank you. What a lovely Rhondda Cynon Taf lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Trecynon - Petrol in Diesel Car Trecynon

We a few weeks ago had a call about a guy who put the wrong fuel in his matte black Renault Master in Trecynon. He had broken down on the road. "After inserting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't realize the quandary until we stopped working. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and had it running once again. I was pleased as a result of both how quick you were and your rates". It goes without saying that we arrived on the scene punctually and flushed the engine after draining all of the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. When he arrived the fuel drainer said the motorist was scowling, but was really happy afterwards.

Familiar Petrol in Diesel Warning signs:

This is a list of very common wrong fuel symptoms:

  • Loss in engine power
  • Engine cutting out, chugging or even coughing
  • A tough time starting the vehicle
  • Abnormal fumes

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.
