It was about 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and I were resting there discussing the rugby rankings, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Bromyard and put petrol in a diesel partner's Mazda B-Series hire car. She was fairly troubled apparently, crying "I can not believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few miles away from the office, we could find her quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Herefordshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can easily bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty expediently.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in HR7 Postcode - Bromyard Misfueling

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a bright Tuesday and we were on the way to help an older sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel expensive Honda Ridgeline in Bromyard. I'd been told she had driven away from the petrol station and broken down along a rural lane en route to visit her family. I got her location punched into the TomTom and got there within an hour or so. I reached the car and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. As I was working she said to me, "Now I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I had only got it a few days back after my old car, which I used for in excess of twenty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she gave me a peppermint and said thank you. What a pleasant Herefordshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Bromyard

I am not very keen on running on weekends, and a week ago was the same. I had only just left the wife and kids following a wonderful Sunday roast prepared for me by the better half, and I was on the way to sort out a guy who had put the incorrect petrol in his racing green Volkswagen Passat. He was located in Bromyard therefore I was there soon. As I drove up behind the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank God! I foolishly had my concentration on other considerations and did not perceive I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I caused any kind of problems by simply starting it?" I revealed generally there should not be damage and also that I would personally get the fuel drained immediately. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled it with the suitable fuel, and then yet another contented customer was able to continue their journey without any subsequent difficulty. He could not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what makes operating on Sundays in Herefordshire just a tiny bit easier in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Bromyard - Fuel Rescue Bromyard

A lady from Bromyard with her kids in her diesel apple green Subaru Impreza WRX had put £50 of petrol at the Shell station. She contacted us sobbing and very distraught as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and did not know what would happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that the vehicle should be alright and that she would be back in action in no time at all. When we got there she was still distressed but as our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon brightened up and was on her way saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the little ones 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.
