It was around 7 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's football, ready for the next call to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Upton and put petrol in a diesel green Chevrolet Caprice rental in error. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I have messed up the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was only a few miles from where we were, we could find her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and not so worried. One more misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue Contamination

What you can do if you have put AdBlue in a Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that’s made of a blend of high-purity urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It tends to be damaging to your vehicle's fuel system, especially any time you started the car with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. Whenever the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will undoubtedly be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly begin to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly problems to your vehicle's fuel system.

In the event that you find yourself in this position do not fret or panic! Contact us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination service. Our technicians have got the specialised expertise and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

A lady had stopped on a road, Upton just after having put the wrong fuel in her car. She was sobbing and really agitated as she had put £60 of petrol in her diesel car. As she phoned us we attempted to relax her as best we could, reassuring her that all would be ok.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Upton

It must be horrible conking out in a automobile with the improper fuel in the middle of the road. Our last customer who filled her diesel car with petrol (sky blue VW Golf) in Upton ran into literally this type of headache: "Your man got my vehicle from the live lane.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Upton - Fuel Rescue Upton

It truly was what is called the graveyard shift. It was about dawn and nobody was stirring. It had been fairly uneventful so far, and Ryan and I were sitting reading a couple of old newspapers. This was a rare tranquil moment in Somerset. Actually it was in fact so tranquil that when the phone ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The person told me: "I've just concluded my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in a diesel red Lexus RX by mistake". We told him to let us know just where the vehicle was located and we set off, arriving in Upton less than 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the motor and he said thanks for getting there so promptly. As we were going back home we saw two young women on the edge of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. Obviously 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 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.
