It was close to six pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and I were sitting talking about the recent golf results, waiting for the 8th job for the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Greysteel and put the wrong fuel in a diesel racing green Volkswagen Beetle lease car in error. The poor thing was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing as it was only a few miles from where we were, we could find the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in County Derry done well in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel in Car Greysteel - Greysteel Misfuelling

What a quality night of sleep! 7:30 am on a bright Wednesday and we were off to help an elder lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel metallic blue Suzuki Vitara in Greysteel. I'd been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded along a country road along the way to see her godchildren. I punched her location straight into the TomTom and arrived within an hour or so. I got to the car and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing the drain she told me, "I am getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel since I had only got it a couple of days back after my old one, which I owned for in excess of thirty years, finally broke down". I got the job completed and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant County Derry woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car Greysteel - Petrol in Diesel Car Greysteel

Now I am not so interested in working on Sundays, and last week was the same. I'd just left the family filled with a magnificent lunch made by the better half, and I was en route to sort out a man who had filled the wrong fuel in his trusty Honda. He was situated in Greysteel so it wasn't long before I reached him. As I arrived at the vehicle and started work he told me "Praise God! I incredibly had my mind on other things and did not grasp that I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted some harm by running it?" I said generally there probably should not be any problems and also that I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained immediately for him. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and one more pleased motorist was able to carry on with their trip without any subsequent hassle. The gentleman couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what makes working on weekends in County Derry just a small bit less painful to me!

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 refuelled and they will often be able to give you a VA 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 misfuelled 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.
