This was certainly what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was roughly sunrise and hardly anyone was around. It had become rather quiet up to now, and Paul and I were loafing around looking through a number of old papers. That was an unusual restful time. It was indeed that tranquil that the moment my mobile ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The customer told me: "I finished my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in my Horbury Junction". We got him to tell us where exactly the vehicle was and we set off, ending up an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the engine. He thanked us profusely for arriving so fast. As we were heading back to the depot we found two ladies at the edge of the road who seemed to have a puncture. As a result we pulled up to help them change it, to their elation.

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.
