It was before 8 pm on a Tuesday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated talking about the golf rankings, prepared for the 8th telephone call to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Draycott and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel deep grey Vauxhall rental. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things sadly happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living at.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Draycott (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your vehicle in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to fix any of the most common troubles which could go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is going to bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases rather quickly.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

This really was the graveyard shift. It was around 3:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It was quite quiet until now, and Paul and I were relaxing perusing a number of old articles. That was an uncommon calm hour in Gloucestershire. It was so relaxing that when my mobile ultimately rang it made me jump! The voice on the other end told me: "I have just completed my night shift and stupidly poured petrol in the diesel teal Mercedes SL65 AMG". We instructed him to let us know where he was located and we hit the road, reaching him in Draycott no more than an hour later. The wrong fuel was removed from the engine. He said many thanks for arriving so quickly. As we were coming back home we found two girls at the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. Accordingly we pulled up to change it, much to their delight.

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.
