It was around 5 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were seated there talking over the football results, ready for the sixth job of the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol station in West Pontnewydd and put petrol in a diesel filthy Range Rover hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty affected it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that such things sadly do happen. She managed to move the car to a protected space and, as it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we could arrive at the woman quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Torfaen done well in my mind!

What a great night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Wednesday and I was on the way to help an older lady after she had put petrol in her diesel burgundy red Ford Fusion in West Pontnewydd. I had been advised she had left the filling station and was pulled up along a backwater road en route to pay a visit to her family. I popped the location in the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour. I reached the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel in the car car. While I was working she said to me, "Now I'm getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel since I had only acquired it a couple of days back right after my other car, which I had owned for over 30 years, finally died". I finished the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. Such a delightful Torfaen lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car West Pontnewydd - Petrol in Diesel Car West Pontnewydd

Now I am not actually so enthusiastic about working weekends, and last week was the same. I'd only just left the wife and kids after a magnificent dinner prepared for me by the wife, and I was en route to assist a fellow who filled the incorrect petrol in his shiny Jeep Grand Cherokee. He was located in West Pontnewydd hence I was with him almost immediately. Just as I pulled up at the car and started work he said to me "Praise God! I incredibly had my mind on stuff and didn't perceive I had put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought about any kind of harm as a result of starting it?" I explained generally there should not be any kind of damage and also that I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained as soon as possible for him. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in some suitable fuel, and yet another satisfied client was able to continue his ride without the need for difficulty. The gentleman could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what makes operating on Sundays in Torfaen that little bit easier for me personally!

It truly was what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was close to 3am and almost noone was stirring. It had become quite uneventful up to now, and me and John were sitting around browsing some old papers. That was an unusual peaceful time in Torfaen. It was so tranquil that the moment the telephone finally rang it made me jump! The customer on the phone stated: "I've just ended my night shift and stupidly put petrol in a immaculate Honda Accord". I told him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was and we hit the road, arriving in West Pontnewydd no more than 30 minutes later. The fuel was extracted from the engine. He thanked us for getting there so fast. While we were returning home we saw two girls on the side of the street who seemed like they had a flat. So we pulled over and helped them 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.
