I had just left home filled with a tasty dinner made by the missus, and I was on the way to help a fellow because he filled the wrong petrol in his mustard yellow Jeep Compass. He was situated in Canvey Island so I was with him soon. Just as I drove up right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my concentration on something else and did not ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about some harm through running it?" I explained that there should not be any kind of damage and that I would get the fuel drained at once for him. As expected I drained the fuel from the vehicle and filled up with some correct fuel, and then one more satisfied motorist was able to continue their trip with no fuss. The man did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what helps make working on Sundays in Essex a tiny bit better for me personally!

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.
