Petrol in a diesel automobile in Bilborough? Thank you for visiting Wrong Fuel SoS. Call us and find out how we could help to get you up and running again.

It was after eight pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were resting discussing the weekend's tennis results, waiting for the 8th job to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Bilborough and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel brother's Volkswagen Touareg lease car. She was rather affected it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure position and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from the office, we could get to the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home calm and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in Nottinghamshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help clean it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to access the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will often bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases rather expediently.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

What a great night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Monday and we were on my way to help an older lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel yellow BMW 5 Series in Bilborough. She informed us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down on a backwater lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I punched her location straight into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the destination and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was working she told me, "I am getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel because I had only just bought it a short while back right after my previous one, which I'd used for in excess of twenty five years, eventually died on me". I got the drain done and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant Nottinghamshire lady!

A man phoned us from Bilborough to state that he unfortunately pumped unleaded in to his diesel brand new Volkswagen Scirocco. "I can't believe it! How could I put unleaded in my lovely diesel car!" It took the fuel drainer approximately fifty minutes to completely drain the contaminated fuel from the car. He thoroughly flushed the fuel system and after that put clean fuel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it didn't cost him dealer rates to have the job professionally performed.

We did a wrong fuel removal exercise on the drive of a lovely property in Bilborough recently. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to nearly reach home when my car quit." Our specialist went out, even though it was quite late at night, and performed a standard fuel drain and cleanse on the clean white VW to everyone's satisfaction.

This was what is called the graveyard shift. It was close to dawn and nobody was stirring. It had been rather uneventful thus far, and me and Brian were relaxing looking at a number of old papers. This was an uncommon calm hour in Nottinghamshire. Actually it was indeed so tranquil that the moment the phone eventually rang it made me jump! The person on the opposite end said: "I ended my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in a compact BMW X5 in error". We instructed him to let us know where he was and we set off, arriving in Bilborough only an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the motor. He thanked us profusely for getting there so fast. As we were heading back to the depot we found two ladies on the side of the highway who seemed like they had a flat. So we pulled up to help them change it, much 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 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.
