A man stopped on a street in Farmington had to have a fuel drain close to a month ago. His deep grey Land Rover Defender 90 was stopped on the road after he had misfueled. He was relaxed when he rang us but somewhat worried to get his car away from the road since he was generating some congestion. We got to him within fifteen minutes as our drainer was in neighbouring Farmington and had just finished his previous job. He said, "I just can't believe I put unleaded in my diesel car and stopped here! My car was chugging I needed to stop and subsequently it just conked."

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Farmington (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a comprehensive Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to fill up the car any time you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill your vehicle. They will handle any of the most common issues which can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel will often bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances pretty easily.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.


Wrong Fuel in Car in GL54 Postcode - Farmington Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of sleep! 7:00 on a bright Saturday and we were en route to assist an older woman after she put petrol in her diesel dark blue MINI Countryman in Farmington. I had been told she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up along a country lane on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour or so. I reached the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing it she said to me, "I am getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car needing diesel seeing that I had just purchased it a week back when my former car, which I used for in excess of twenty five years, finally died". I finished the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a precious Gloucestershire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Farmington

I wouldn't like conking out in a vehicle running on the wrong fuel halfway down the street. Our last customer who filled her car with the incorrect fuel (brand new Audi riolet) in Farmington suffered precisely that type of nightmare: "Unfortunately I foolishly filled my petrol car with diesel a few days ago. I was so bothered about it that I was in tears. However I shouldn't have concerned myself since you were marvelous in resolving my problem."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Farmington - Fuel Rescue Farmington

A customer employed in Farmington called us as soon as she had managed to get her misfueled vehicle to the office. She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic green BMW 745 and, like many people before her, thought that she could basically fill up the tank with diesel and it would run fine. The engine was coughing and then it died when she came to the entrance of her work. We quickly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it sorted in one hour whilst she was in the office. She came outside later on and thanked us saying, "I'm very glad you repaired my vehicle."

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.
