It was after six pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were resting talking about the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the next fuel drain to come in. Finally we got the call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Green End and filled petrol in her diesel modified Smart Forfour rental in error. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things can happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

Got a fuel tank sitting at the rear of the garden full of unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business premises in Cambridgeshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages. We are covered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a number of containers in a shed, if we are able to access it, we can certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can potentially trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty easily.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Green End - Wrong Fuel in Car Green End

I'd had a wonderful afternoon cycling on my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the next morning as I headed out to assist a young family who were on holiday in Green End. They'd broken down after adding the wrong fuel in their brother's Renault Espace, and the car was around an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and smiled to myself as I listened to the wife telling her husband off for being so confused. "How could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on quite frequently in Cambridgeshire and that it's nothing to stress about, even so he in spite of everything got his ear bent. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyhow, I drained the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some right fuel. Watching as they drove away I mouthed farewell and considered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

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

I am not necessarily very inclined to working Sundays, and a while back was no different. I'd only just departed the family after having a lovely roast cooked for me by the better half, and I was on my way to deal with a fellow after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his bright white Isuzu Ascender. He was stationed in Green End so I arrived with him quickly. Just as I arrived at the car and started work he said to me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my concentration on other things and failed to grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought about any kind of problems simply by running it?" I said there should not be any kind of damage and also that I would remove the contaminated fuel as quickly as possible. Needless to say I removed the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with the correct fuel, and so yet another happy client was able to continue on their trip without the need for hassle. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this can make operating on weekends in Cambridgeshire a tiny bit better for me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Green End - Fuel Rescue Green End

A customer from Green End with a full car of youngsters in her diesel old Jeep Compass had filled her car with £42 of petrol at the BP petrol station. She phoned us sobbing and very upset as she had never wrong fueled before and didn't know what might happen to her car in doing so. We reassured her that everything should be ok and that she would be up and running in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was visible distressed but while our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She soon enough cheered up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the little ones 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.
