It was close to five pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry night, it had not given up on raining! Dan and me were seated there discussing the weekend's golf, waiting for the 6th call that day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Pitt Court and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel grey Subaru Legacy rental in error. She was quite troubled apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to get to the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away contented and less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Pitt Court (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a complete Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to help to refill the car if you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill up your automobile. They will take care of the typical troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to handle in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can easily trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations very simply.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Pitt Court

Now I'm certainly not so keen on working on Sundays, and a while back was no different. I had only just come away from the wife and kids after a lovely Sunday roast cooked for us by the wife, and I was on the way to assist a guy who put the incorrect fuel in his rugged Cadillac Escalade EXT. He was somewhere in Pitt Court therefore it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I pulled up right behind the car and got busy draining he told me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on other considerations and did not grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I created any kind of harm simply by running it?" I revealed that generally there shouldn't be harm and that I would personally get the wrong fuel drained quickly. As expected I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some correct fuel, and so another content client could continue their ride with no bother. The man couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what helps make working on Sundays in Gloucestershire that little bit better in my opinion!

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.
