It was after 9 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were seated there discussing the golf results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Upper Ochrwyth and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel expensive Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class hire car in error. The poor thing was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things can happen.

This was exactly the graveyard shift. It was close to sunrise and noone was around. It had become rather uneventful up to now, and Brian and I were relaxing reading some old magazines. It was a rare peaceful hour in Caerphilly. It was in fact that relaxing that the instant my mobile rang it made me start! The voice stated: "I only just completed my evening shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in my burgundy red VW GLI in error". We told him to inform us just where he was and we hit the road, arriving in Upper Ochrwyth no more than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the motor and he said thanks for coming so rapidly. While we were coming back to the office we noticed two young ladies on the side of the road who looked like they suffered a flat. Obviously we got out to change it, to their delight.

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.
