It was around eight pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there talking about the recent football, waiting around for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Wood End and filled petrol in her diesel rugged Cadillac Fleetwood rental. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was just a few miles off from where we were, we could find her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off calm and less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Bedfordshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Run Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Wood End (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a comprehensive Bedfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to refill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at cost) to refill your automobile. They will be able to deal with any of the most common troubles which could go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases very simply.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Wood End

We fairly recently had a phone call about a young man who had put the wrong fuel in his metallic blue Volvo V70 in Wood End. He had come to a stand-still on the road. "I couldn't believe how quick you people were in having someone out to aid me when I erroneously filled my car with the wrong fuel. I'm very grateful". Of course we appeared promptly and purged the engine after flushing all of the petrol from the diesel tank. When he arrived the engineer said the client was scowling, but was pleased when we finished.

This was certainly what is called an unsociable hour to be awake. It was close to 3:30 in the morning and nobody was around. It was rather dead thus far, and me and Paul were loafing about looking at a number of old papers. This was a rare tranquil moment in Bedfordshire. Actually it was in fact that relaxing that the instant the telephone rang it made me jump! The customer stated: "I've only just completed my evening shift and incredibly put petrol in the deep grey Audi A7". We got him to inform us just where he was situated and we headed out, arriving in Wood End not as much as an hour or so later. The fuel was extracted from the car. He said many thanks for coming so promptly. While we were heading back to base we noticed two ladies on the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat. Accordingly we got out 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.
