It was after seven pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting talking over the recent golf rankings, ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Tidmington and filled petrol in a diesel winter grey Saab 9-4X rental car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we could find her quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Warwickshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Run Out of Fuel Services

Out of fuel in Tidmington (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a full Warwickshire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your vehicle. They will deal with the standard issues which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may well cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations fairly swiftly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

We did a wrong fuel retrieval exercise on the drive of a beautiful residence in Tidmington not so long ago. "I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and managed to very nearly get home when my car broke down." Our technician went out, regardless that it was fairly late at night, and performed a full fuel drain and purge on the blue Austin Mini Cooper .

Wrong Fuel Doctor Tidmington - Fuel Rescue Tidmington

It truly was what is called an unsociable time to be on the road. It was around 2 in the morning and nobody was around. It had become quite quiet up to now, and me and Ray were loafing reading some old magazines. That was an uncommon quiet time in Warwickshire. It was so peaceful that the moment my mobile rang it made me start! The voice on the other end said: "I have ended my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in my diesel apple green Ford Transit Connect". We instructed him to tell us just where the vehicle was and we left, reaching him in Tidmington under an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he said thank you for showing up so fast. As we were going back to the office we saw two ladies at the edge of the street who seemed like they suffered a flat. Accordingly we pulled up to change it, 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.
