It was about seven pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's golf, prepared for the next call to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Ascot and put the wrong fuel in a diesel beautiful Honda Civic lease car by mistake. She was very irritated it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected spot and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could reach the customer without delay. The bad fuel was removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and a lot less stressed. Another job in Berkshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


AdBlue In Diesel

What you can do in case you’ve poured AdBlue into your Diesel fuel tank?

AdBlue is a liquid that’s composed of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). AdBlue can be disastrous to your automobile's fuel system, especially in cases where you have had the engine running with AdBlue in the tank. Once the engine has been started the AdBlue will be dragged into your fuel lines and will promptly start to crystalise, bringing about disastrous and expensive harm to your automobile's fuel system.

If perhaps you end up in this scenario do not panic! Call us, the UK’s Best fuel contamination company. Our engineers have the specialised knowledge and experience to have you back on the road quickly and efficiently, no mess, no hassle.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Ascot - Fuel Rescue Ascot

A woman from Ascot with a full car of little ones in her diesel modern Subaru Impreza WRX had put £50 of petrol at the Tesco station. She phoned us crying and very worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle because of it. We told her that all would be fine and that she would be back up and running soon. When we arrived she was visible upset but as our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She soon enough brightened up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the youngsters in the back."

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.

Here is a list of likely wrong fuel symptoms:

  • Loss of vehicle power
