It was just before 5 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's footy results, prepared for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we got the call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Gillingham and put petrol in a diesel mint green Mercedes Sprinter hire car. She was very affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from our van, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could go home to the motel she was staying in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away calm and less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Dorset done well in my mind!

Wrong Fuel in Car Gillingham - Gillingham Misfuelling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a warm Wednesday and I was off to help an old woman who put the wrong fuel in her diesel dad's Fiat Uno in Gillingham. She told us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and stranded along a rural lane along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I punched her location in the TomTom and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I reached the location and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing it she told me, "I have been becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel as I'd only acquired it a couple of days back when my previous car, which I'd had for about twenty five years, finally died". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a precious Dorset lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Gillingham - Petrol in Diesel Car Gillingham

No one likes grinding to a halt in a vehicle filled with the wrong fuel halfway down the road. We had a customer who filled her car with the wrong fuel (modified Volvo S40) in Gillingham had precisely that kind of problem: "Your engineer helped me remove my car from the live lane. He drained it and had it functioning again within around 30 minutes. Highly recommended."

This was certainly the graveyard shift. It was roughly 2 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It had become pretty quiet thus far, and me and John were loafing around looking through a few old articles. That was an uncommon peaceful hour in Dorset. Actually it was in fact so peaceful that when the phone finally rang I leaped with surprise! The voice on the other end said: "I have ended my evening shift and incredibly poured petrol in the new Cadillac XLR-V by mistake". We got him to tell us exactly where he was situated and we set off, ending up in Gillingham less than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the motor. He thanked us profusely for coming out so fast. As we were returning home we noticed two young women at the side of the street who appeared to have a flat. Accordingly we got out and helped them 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.
