It was just before seven pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's football, waiting for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. Finally we had a call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Itchen Abbas and put petrol in a diesel classic Skoda Yeti lease car. The poor thing was quite distressed it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected area and, since it was just a short distance away from the office, we could reach the customer rather quickly.

• 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.
