It was about 10 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting there talking over the recent sports results, ready for the 6th call for the day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Reeds Holme and filled petrol in her diesel beloved Austin Mini Cooper rental by mistake. She was fairly distressed apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to move the car to a protected area and, since it was only a few minutes away from the office, we were able to find the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away relaxed and less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Lancashire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations quite simply.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BB4 Postcode - Reeds Holme Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a rainy Sunday and I was en route to assist an old lovely lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel bright red Jaguar X-Type in Reeds Holme. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down in a country lane on route to visit her grandchildren. I plugged the location into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I turned up at the location and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing it she explained, "I am becoming rather forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel seeing that I had just got it a couple of days ago after my former car, which I had for about twenty years, finally died on me". I got the drain done and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Lancashire lady!

I had appreciated a wonderful day cycling during my off day and felt delighted the next morning as I headed out to assist a new couple who were away in Reeds Holme. They had broken down after adding petrol into their clean white Subaru Outback Sport, and the car was about half an hour's drive away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself as I listened to the wife chastising her hubby for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this situation happens constantly in Lancashire and that it's nothing at all to get worried about, even so he still had an earful by his missus. I felt sorry for the boy. At any rate, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive off I waved bon voyage and considered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the very same mistake... I would never hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Reeds Holme

I am not excessively excited about carrying out work on weekends, and a while back was no different. I had only just come away from home filled with a lovely roast made by the better half, and I was on my way to help a man who had filled the wrong fuel in his modified BMW X3. He was located in Reeds Holme and so it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I pulled up at the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my thoughts on something else and didn't grasp that I had put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought about any damage through driving it?" I explained there should not be any harm and also that I'd personally remove the fuel as soon as possible for him. It goes without saying that I removed the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with the suitable fuel, and yet another happy client had the ability to continue on their ride with no hassle. The man could not stop thanking me, and this is what helps make carrying out work on Sundays in Lancashire just a tiny bit less painful to me!

This was most definitely what we call an unsociable hour to be awake. It was roughly 2am and almost noone was stirring. It had become rather uneventful so far, and Ray and I were loafing about browsing a couple of old papers. It was an unusual calm moment in Lancashire. Actually it was indeed that peaceful that the instant the phone ultimately rang I jumped! The person on the other end said: "I just ended my night shift and foolishly poured petrol in the diesel well worn Seat Leon". We got him to tell us just where the vehicle was situated and we left, reaching him in Reeds Holme under an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He said many thanks for coming out so fast. As we were returning home we found two girls at the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled up to 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.
