Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a sunny Tuesday and we were on the way to help an elder lady who had put petrol in her diesel brand new Kia Spectra in Llanmaes. I had been informed she drove away from the filling station and was stranded in a rural lane along the way to visit her godchildren. I plugged the location in the TomTom and arrived inside an hour. I arrived at the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing it she said to me, "Now I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I had only just got it a couple of days back right after my other one, which I had used for over thirty years, eventually died on me". I finished the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a precious Cardiff lady!

I had a wonderful evening golfing during my holiday and felt pleased the next working day as I set off to help a young couple who were on holiday in Llanmaes. They stopped after inserting petrol into their faithful Smart Car, and the car was about half an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked while I listened to the woman telling her partner off for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this takes place regularly in Cardiff and that it is nothing at all to worry about, nevertheless he all the same got an earful by his missus. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I drained the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel. While they drove away I waved so long and wondered what her indoors would say to me if I made the very same error... I would never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car Llanmaes - Petrol in Diesel Car Llanmaes

We were phoned by a gentleman whose new Toyota Highlander had ground to a halt on a road after a misfuel. "I confused the pumps and pumped the wrong fuel in my vehicle by mistake. You guys arrived and fixed the situation right after my vehicle died." We drained the unleaded from the diesel tank and flushed the fuel system thoroughly and the customer could then proceed with his deliveries.

This was exactly what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was roughly dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become quite dead up to now, and me and Mark were loafing about browsing a number of old articles. This was a rare peaceful hour in Cardiff. Actually it was that quiet that the instant the phone inevitably rang it made me start! The voice on the opposite end said: "I have only just ended my night shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic grey Renault by mistake". We instructed him to let us know just where the vehicle was and we headed out, arriving in Llanmaes no more than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car and he thanked us for coming out so promptly. As we were returning to the office we spotted two young women at the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat. Obviously we got out to change it, to their delight.

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.
