It was about five pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and me were resting talking over the weekend's tennis, ready for the next telephone call to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Stotfold and put petrol in a diesel dirty red Audi Quattro rental car in error. She was very troubled apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was just a short distance from where we were, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and much less anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Bedfordshire done well 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.

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.
