The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Westcott (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a comprehensive Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your vehicle if you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up the car. They will be able to take care of any of the typical problems which might accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can potentially lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances rather expediently.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.


Wrong Fuel in Car in RH4 Postcode - Westcott Misfueling

What a good night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Bank Holiday Monday and I was en route to assist an old lovely lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel teal Kia Sorento in Westcott. I'd been told she had left the petrol station and stranded in a backwater road along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped her location in the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour or so. I arrived at the car and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "I have been becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car working with diesel since I'd only got it a week ago when my other one, which I had for more than 25 years, finally died on me". I got the drain completed and she gave me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a delightful Surrey woman!

We fairly recently got a phone call about a guy who put the wrong fuel in his pristine Jaguar XK in Westcott. He had conked out on the street. "It was terrific how speedy you were in getting a fuel drainer out to aid me after I foolishly unleaded in my diesel car. Thank you so much". Of course we arrived punctually and purged the engine after flushing the petrol from the diesel tank. When he arrived our engineer said the customer was fuming, but was satisfied afterwards.

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.
