It was close to eight pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting there commenting on the recent footy results, ready for the next telephone call of the day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Upper Cwmbran and filled petrol in a diesel well-used Land Rover rental car by mistake. She was quite affected apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this can happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure position and, as it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Torfaen done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Wrong Fuel in Car Upper Cwmbran - Upper Cwmbran Misfuelling

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Wednesday and we were en route to help an older sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel metallic blue BMW 325 in Upper Cwmbran. I'd been advised she had driven away from the petrol station and stranded on a country lane along the way to visit her godchildren. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and was with her inside 60 minutes. I got to the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. As I was doing the work she said, "Now I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd only bought it a few days back after my other car, which I used for over 30 years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a delightful Torfaen woman!

A lady from Upper Cwmbran with her kids in her diesel work's Mazda B-Series Plus had filled her vehicle with £40 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She contacted us weeping and really upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle because of it. We assured her that everything should be alright and that she would be up and running quickly.

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.
