It was just after 7 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and I were resting there going over the football results, ready for the sixth job for the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Gileston and put the wrong fuel in her diesel daughter's Mercedes CL-Class hire car. The poor lady was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe area and, since it was just a short distance from where we were, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could go home to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and not so concerned. Another fuel drain in The Vale of Glamorgan well done in my books!

Wrong Fuel in Car Gileston - Gileston Misfuelling

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a warm Tuesday and we were on the way to help an old lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel worse for wear Audi R8 in Gileston. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded on a backwater lane on route to visit her godchildren. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour. I got to the location and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the work she said to me, "I'm becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel since I had only got it several days back because my previous car, which I owned for over twenty five years, finally died on me". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a lovely The Vale of Glamorgan lady!

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.
