It was close to 9 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's golf results, prepared for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Little Horkesley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel son's Seat Leon lease car in error. The poor thing was rather distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe area and, seeing that it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and much less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Essex well done in my books!

I had a terrific evening golfing on my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the following day as I was en route to help a young family who were on vacation in Little Horkesley. They had broken down after filling petrol in their luxury Fiat Punto, and they were roughly an hour's drive away. I arrived at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife chastising her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs frequently in Essex and that it's truly nothing to stress about, nevertheless he yet still had his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky lad. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed so long and wondered what my wife would do to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!

This was exactly what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was close to 2:30 in the morning and almost noone was about. It had become rather dead so far, and me and John were sitting about looking at some old papers. This was a rare peaceful hour in Essex. It was in fact so relaxing that the moment my mobile eventually rang I leaped! The customer on the opposite end told me: "I've ended my overnight shift and stupidly filled petrol in a diesel metallic yellow Mazda B2600 in error". We instructed him to inform us exactly where the car was located and we headed out, reaching him in Little Horkesley no more than half an hour later. The fuel was extracted from the car. He thanked us for showing up so fast. While we were heading back to the office we saw two young ladies on the edge of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. So we pulled up to change it, much 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.
