It was about seven pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! James and me were resting there talking over the recent rugby results, ready for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Before long we received the call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Lamesley and put the wrong fuel in a diesel bright yellow Volvo960 rental car. She was very agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to get to her without delay. The wrong fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and a lot less concerned. A job in Tyne and Wear well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel can bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances very swiftly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be totally wet and useless.

I had a fantastic day golfing on the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the next morning as I was on the way to help a new family holidaying in Lamesley. They pulled over after inserting petrol into their well worn Peugeot Bipper, and were around an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smiled while I heard to the woman telling her husband off for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs everyday in Tyne and Wear and that it's nothing to worry about, but he still had an earful by his wife. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed bon voyage and thought about what my missus would do to me in the event that I did the same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Lamesley - Fuel Rescue Lamesley

A motorist working in Lamesley called us as soon as she had tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to work. She had filled unleaded in her diesel brand new Volkswagen Touareg 2 and, like many people before her, thought that she could simply top up her car with diesel and it'd be okay. The car was chugging and then it cut out when she got to the the front of her office. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it fixed inside one hour whilst she was working. She came outside later on and thanked us stating, "I'm extremely delighted you fixed my car."

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.
