In the event that you've put petrol in a diesel automobile in Orrell Post we most certainly are the people you want to speak to. We operate throughout the whole of the Orrell Post territory and all bordering sectors.

It was close to 7 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were seated discussing the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Orrell Post and filled petrol in her diesel classic Land Rover Defender 110 rental by mistake. She was rather distressed apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure position and, since it was just a few miles off from where we were, we could get to the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away contented and not so worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Greater Manchester done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can potentially trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases very expediently.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Orrell Post - Fuel Rescue Orrell Post

This was exactly what we call an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was about sunrise and nobody was about. It had become pretty dead thus far, and me and Ryan were loafing reading through some old magazines. That was a rare restful hour in Greater Manchester. Actually it was so calm that when my mobile finally rang it made me jump! The customer explained: "I concluded my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in a pristine Volvo S80". I asked him to tell us where the vehicle was and we headed out, reaching him in Orrell Post an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the engine. He said thank you for coming so promptly. As we were going back home we spotted two ladies at the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we got out to help them change it, 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 VA 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.
