It was just after ten pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were sitting going over the footy results, waiting around for the 8th job to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Botts Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel maroon Hyundai rental car. She was quite troubled it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing that it was only a few miles from our van, we could arrive at the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could return to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and less concerned. Yet another job in Warwickshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important condition to address in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can certainly trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations pretty expediently.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Botts Green (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Warwickshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to fill up your vehicle in cases where you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They can also deal with the common troubles which may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

The driver of a creamy white Mitsubishi Montero was sorry that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle when he got as far as the street and it spluttered and stopped.

A lady from Botts Green with a full car of kids in her diesel dark blue Nissan Cube had put £30 of petrol at the Texaco filling station. She called us sobbing and really upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what might happen to her car . We assured her that all would be okay and that she would be back in action soon. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but as our technician started work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable.

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.
