It was after seven pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and me were seated there commenting on the footy rankings, prepared for the sixth job to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Thurnby and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel clean white Renault Twingo rental car by mistake. The poor lady was very irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we could arrive at the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Leicestershire done well in my mind!

Wrong Fuel Assist Thurnby - Wrong Fuel in Car Thurnby

I'd had a perfect evening hiking on my afternoon off and was feeling delighted with myself the next day as I headed out to assist a young couple vacationing in Thurnby. They conked out after inserting the wrong fuel in their son's Audi RS 6, and the car was roughly an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the wife chastising her partner for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you even find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this takes place on a regular basis in Leicestershire and that it's in reality nothing at all to fret about, even so he yet still had an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted farewell and wondered what my wife would do to me if ever I did the very same thing... I would never ever live it down!

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.
