It was close to six pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a rainless day, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and me were relaxing talking over the tennis results, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Boarstall and put petrol in a diesel creamy white Kia Sedona hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled apparently, saying "I just can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately do happen.

The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and not so concerned. One more job in Buckinghamshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Boarstall (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a full Buckinghamshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They can also deal with the common problems which can go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to handle in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can certainly contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances very simply.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

This was most definitely an unsociable hour to be awake. It was about sunrise and noone was stirring. It had become quite uneventful thus far, and Ryan and I were relaxing perusing a number of old newspapers. This was an unusual restful moment in Buckinghamshire. Actually it was in fact that calm that the moment the phone inevitably rang I jumped! The motorist explained: "I've only just concluded my evening shift and foolishly filled petrol in the diesel rust red Mitsubishi 3000GT in error". I told him to inform us where exactly the car was located and we hit the road, ending up in Boarstall only half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor and he thanked us profusely for arriving so rapidly. While we were heading back to base we saw two girls at the edge of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. Obviously we pulled over to help them 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.
