It was before 9 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were relaxing there commenting on the recent rugby, ready for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Broughton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel brother's VW Touareg 2 hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly troubled it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could go home to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off satisfied and less worried. Another job in Buckinghamshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to take care of in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can potentially bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations pretty simply.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

Run out of fuel in Broughton (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We run a complete Buckinghamshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to refill your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at home.

Wrong Fuel Assist Broughton - Wrong Fuel in Car Broughton

I'd had a wonderful day hiking during my off day and felt cheerful the following morning as I headed out to help a new family who were away in Broughton. They had stopped after inserting diesel into their buff Cadillac XLR-V, and were around an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the woman telling off her husband for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you possibly find a way to fill the vehicle up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this takes place continuously in Buckinghamshire and that it's truly nothing at all to be anxious about, but he still had an earful. I felt sorry for the chap. Anyways, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some right fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!

"I was surprised at how speedy you guys were in having a technician out to aid me when I mistakenly filled my car with the wrong fuel. Thank you".

Wrong Fuel Doctor Broughton - Fuel Rescue Broughton

A woman driving in Broughton contacted us shortly after she managed to get her wrong fueled vehicle to her office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel buff Chevrolet Suburban and, like many before her, believed that she would be able to simply fill up the tank with diesel and it'd run no problem. The car was spluttering and then it stopped when she reached the the front of her work. We soon started on the fuel drain after she called and got it repaired inside one hour while she was at the office. She came out later on and thanked us saying, "I'm very delighted you repaired my vehicle."

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.
