It was close to 10 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's football rankings, waiting for the 8th job that day to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Woolhope and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel teal BMW 325 rental car in error. The poor thing was quite affected it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from us, we could arrive at the lady without delay. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home contented and less anxious. Yet another job in Herefordshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can result in idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases quite quickly.

Remember that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in HR1 Postcode - Woolhope Misfueling

A relatively concerned motorist called us from the Shell filling station at Herefordshire to tell us that he had put unleaded in his diesel precious Volkswagen Touareg; he wasn't actually sure how he'd managed to do it.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Woolhope

I am not actually too keen on carrying out work on Sundays, and a while back was no different. I'd only just come away from home after having a wonderful Sunday roast made for us by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a fellow who put the incorrect fuel in his metallic silver Toyota FJ Cruiser. He was stationed in Woolhope thus I arrived there very quickly. Just as I arrived behind the car and started work he told me "Thank God! I had my thoughts on other things and didn't perceive I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created any problems because of starting it?" I said truth be told there probably should not be damage and also that I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained immediately for him. Naturally I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and one more pleased client had the ability to continue their trip without the need for fuss. The gentleman could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what tends to make operating on Sundays in Herefordshire that little less painful to me!

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.
