It was just after eight pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were relaxing there talking about the recent footy rankings, ready for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Putley Common and put the wrong fuel in a diesel mum's Kia Sorento lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, since it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Herefordshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Putley Common (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a comprehensive Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to refill your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill the car. They are also able to fix any of the most common issues that could go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to address in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may well result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations very expediently.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Putley Common - Wrong Fuel in Car Putley Common

I had a great afternoon hiking during my afternoon off and was feeling delighted with myself the following day as I was en route to assist a young couple on vacation in Putley Common. They'd conked out after putting diesel into their mate's Audi riolet, and they were around half an hour away. I showed up at their location and smiled while I listened to the gal telling her partner off for being so silly. "Precisely how could you even find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass quite frequently in Herefordshire and that it's absolutely nothing to fret about, but he yet still got his ear bent. Poor guy. Anyhow, I drained out all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I waved farewell and considered what my wife would say to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!

This was certainly the night shift. It was around 2:30am and hardly anyone was around. It was fairly dead up to now, and John and I were loafing about reading a couple of old magazines. This was an uncommon tranquil hour in Herefordshire. It was indeed so calm that when the telephone eventually rang it made me jump! The person on the other end told me: "I've just concluded my overnight shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in my modern Isuzu i-Series in error". I instructed him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was and we hit the road, arriving in Putley Common an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the engine and he thanked us for arriving so quickly. While we were heading back to base we noticed two women at the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat. Accordingly we got out to change it, to their elation.

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.
