It was just after 6 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were sitting there going over the recent sports results, waiting around for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in East Tisted and put petrol in her diesel work's Austin Mini rental. She was rather irritated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this sadly happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from the office, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging 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.

• Engine coughing or starting to splutter
• Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
