It was about 8 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and me were sitting there going over the weekend's footy rankings, ready for the 6th job to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the BP filling station in Crown Wood and filled petrol in a diesel yellow Honda CR-Z hire car by mistake. She was very agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things sadly do happen. She managed to get the car into a secure area and, since it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Crown Wood (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We perform a full Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to fill up the car any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill up the car. They are also able to deal with any of the standard problems which may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will likely cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations very expediently.

Take note that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Crown Wood - Fuel Rescue Crown Wood

This was an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about dawn and nobody was stirring. It had been pretty dead until now, and me and Ray were loafing reading a couple of old newspapers. That was an uncommon calm hour in Berkshire. Actually it was that relaxing that the moment the telephone finally rang I jumped! The motorist explained: "I ended my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in the diesel light green Citron C4 by mistake". I got him to tell us where exactly he was and we set off, getting to him in Crown Wood only half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he said thank you for showing up so quickly. As we were heading back home we found two young women on the edge of the road who seemed to have a puncture. Accordingly we got out to help them change it, to their elation.

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.
