It was just after 10 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were relaxing there talking over the football, at the ready for the seventh call to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Monkhide and put the wrong fuel in her diesel boss' Lexus LFA rental car. She was fairly troubled it seemed, saying "I still can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, because it was only a short distance away from our van, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home contented and less apprehensive. A job in Herefordshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases rather swiftly.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of your garden full of out of date, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We've been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Herefordshire to take care of taking away and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Wrong Fuel in Car in HR8 Postcode - Monkhide Misfueling

A rather concerned driver called us from the BP filling station at Herefordshire to inform us that he had put unleaded in to his diesel bright white Fiat Panda; he wasn't really quite certain how he'd managed to do it.

He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the chap who appeared to take care of the fuel drain was incredibly excellent - he didn't make me seem like a fool."

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Monkhide

I'm not actually excessively inclined to working weekends, and a while back was no different. I had only just come away from the wife and kids after eating a lovely Sunday roast prepared for us by the missus, and I was on my way to sort out a fellow after he filled the wrong fuel in his friend's Peugeot 407. He was only in Monkhide therefore I was there quickly. As I pulled up behind the car and started work he explained to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my mind on stuff and failed to realise I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought about any kind of harm simply by driving it?" I determined truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of damage and also that I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained immediately for him. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with some correct fuel, and so another satisfied client had the ability to carry on with their journey without difficulty. The man could not stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what makes earning a living on Sundays in Herefordshire just a little bit easier for me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Monkhide - Fuel Rescue Monkhide

A driver from Monkhide with her children in her diesel new-shape Ford Focus had put £50 of petrol at the Shell petrol station. She contacted us sobbing and genuinely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that the car would be fine and that she would be back on the road quickly. When we arrived she was still upset but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She quickly brightened up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the kids in the back."

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.
