It was before eight pm on a Friday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting there talking over the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Whitchurch and put petrol in a diesel blue Land Rover Defender 110 rental car by mistake. She was quite agitated apparently, saying "I just can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing at.

Wrong Fuel in Car Whitchurch - Petrol in Diesel Car Whitchurch

Now I'm not ever excessively enthusiastic about doing the job on weekends, and last week was no different. I had just departed the wife and kids after a fantastic roast prepared for us by the better half, and I was en route to sort out a guy who had put the wrong petrol in his work's Skoda Yeti. He was located in Whitchurch hence it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. As I drove up right behind the car and stepped out he said to me "Praise God! I incredibly had my attention on other stuff and didn't perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I caused some damage as a result of starting it?" I explained there should not be any kind of damage and also I'd personally remove the contaminated fuel immediately. As expected I removed the fuel from the car and put in some correct fuel, and then one more contented client was able to continue on their travelling without any subsequent hassle. The man could hardly stop thanking me, and that is exactly what can make carrying out work on Sundays in Cardiff that little better for me!

This was certainly what we call the graveyard shift. It was around sunrise and noone was around. It had been rather uneventful so far, and me and Mark were relaxing looking at a couple of old newspapers. This was an unusual calm time in Cardiff. It was indeed that peaceful that the moment my mobile inevitably rang it made me jump! The motorist on the opposite end told me: "I have just ended my evening shift and foolishly put petrol in my diesel immaculate Mazda B-Series Plus". I asked him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was and we set off, getting to him in Whitchurch under 30 minutes later. The fuel was removed from the motor and he thanked us profusely for coming so rapidly. As we were heading back home we spotted two young women on the side of the street who seemed like they suffered a puncture. So we pulled up 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.
