It was after eight pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! Mark and me were resting there going over the football rankings, waiting for the sixth call that day to come in. Finally we received the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Shelley and put petrol in her diesel new-shape Cadillac Escalade ESV rental. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the car to a safe position and, since it was just a few miles off from the office, we could find her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying in.

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.
