Finally we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Kirkconnel and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel daughter's Jaguar rental. She was rather agitated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle!

It truly was the night shift. It was close to 2:30am and noone was about. It had been quite uneventful up to now, and me and Mark were sitting around looking through several old magazines. That was a rare restful moment in Dumfries and Galloway. It was in fact that relaxing that the instant my mobile rang I leaped! The customer stated: "I've completed my night shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic silver Toyota Corolla". We got him to let us know where exactly he was and we set off, ending up in Kirkconnel not as much as 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the car and he said thank you for showing up so rapidly.

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.
