I appreciated a wonderful evening golfing on the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the next working day as I headed out to help a young family on vacation in Macosquin. They'd conked out after putting the wrong fuel in their abused Honda, and were about an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife telling off her hubby for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this goes on regularly in County Derry and that it's actually nothing to stress about, but he still had an earful. Poor lad. Anyway, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. As they drove away I mouthed farewell and considered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I made the same blunder... I would never ever live it down!

• 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.
