Wrong Fuel in Car Splott - Splott Misfuelling

What a quality night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Wednesday and I was off to help an elder lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel sky blue Mercedes-Benz S-Class in Splott. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station and was stranded on a backwater lane on the way to see her family. I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and was with her in less than 60 minutes. I turned up at the location and removed the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the work she explained, "I have been becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle using diesel because I had only bought it a short while back because my old car, which I had for more than twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she offered me a peppermint and said thank you. What a precious 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.
