It was after seven pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing talking over the sports rankings, waiting for the 8th job for the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Llanfoist and filled petrol in a diesel classic Nissan Maxima lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle!

Wrong Fuel Assist Llanfoist - Wrong Fuel in Car Llanfoist

I'd had a perfect day hiking on my holiday and was feeling contented the next morning as I set out to aid a new family who were away in Llanfoist. They broken down after filling petrol into their dark blue Volvo S60, and were roughly half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself as I heard to the woman telling her husband off for being so confused. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs constantly in Monmouthshire and that it's nothing at all to fret about, nonetheless he in spite of everything got an earful by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. At any rate, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed so long and considered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would under no circumstances 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 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.
