It was around 9 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were sitting there talking about the weekend's sports rankings, waiting for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in St Mellons and put petrol in her diesel blue Land Rover Defender 110 lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was very affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure spot and, because it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off satisfied and much less anxious. Yet another job in Cardiff done well in my mind!

Wrong Fuel in Car St Mellons - St Mellons Misfuelling

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Wednesday and we were on the way to help an elder lady who put the wrong fuel in her diesel pristine Mercedes Sprinter in St Mellons. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and pulled up on a country road en route to visit her family. I plugged the location in the Satnav and got there in less than 60 minutes. I reached the location and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the work she told me, "I have been getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel because I had just acquired it a short while back after my former one, which I had for more than twenty years, inevitably died on me". I finished the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a lovely Cardiff woman!

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.
