It was before seven pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were sitting going over the weekend's golf, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Lower End and filled petrol in her diesel blue Peugeot 3008 rental car by mistake. She was pretty irritated apparently, crying "I cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we were able to find the woman quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away relaxed and much less worried. Another fuel drain in Bedfordshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Lower End (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a complete Bedfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They will deal with any of the usual troubles which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is likely to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases fairly simply.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

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 refueled and they will often be able to give you a VAT 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 misfueled 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.
