It was after six pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and me were relaxing there talking over the recent footy results, at the ready for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Holme Wood rental.

She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from the office, we could find the woman right away. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at.

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 refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT 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 misfueled 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.

It was before 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting talking over the sports rankings, at the ready for the next job to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling station and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Holme Wood hire car by mistake. She was pretty distressed apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure area and, because it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could return to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less anxious. Another fuel drain done well in my mind!
