It was around 6 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were sitting talking over the tennis results, at the ready for the sixth job of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Halewood and put the wrong fuel in her diesel partner's Cadillac Catera rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe I have ruined the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure position and, since it was just a few miles from us, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less anxious. One more fuel drain in Merseyside well done in my books!

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
