It was just before 9 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it had not given up on pouring! Brian and I were resting there talking about the recent sports results, waiting around for the seventh call that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Astcote and put petrol in her diesel metallic silver Fiat Multipla rental by mistake. She was somewhat agitated apparently, saying "I can not believe I have messed up the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that such things sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe position and, because it was just a short distance from where we were, we could find the lady right away. The bad fuel was drained and she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away contented and less concerned. A fuel drain in Northamptonshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can potentially cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances quite expediently.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Astcote - Fuel Rescue Astcote

A driver from Astcote with a full car of little ones in her diesel new-shape Audi Allroad had put £40 of petrol at the Texaco station. She called us weeping and extremely distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle . We reassured her that the car should be fine and that she would be on the road quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She quickly brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the children 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.
