This was most definitely what is called the graveyard shift. It was around dawn and noone was stirring. It had been rather quiet so far, and Mark and I were relaxing looking at a couple of old magazines. This was an uncommon calm time in Surrey. It was so tranquil that the moment the phone ultimately rang it made me start! The voice told me: "I have just ended my overnight shift and foolishly put petrol in the diesel modern Audi Coupe Quattro in error". I instructed him to tell us exactly where the car was situated and we left, arriving in Gomshall not as much as 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was removed from the engine. He said thank you for arriving so fast. As we were going back to base we spotted two ladies at the edge of the street who looked like they had a puncture.

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.
