It was after six pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were resting there commenting on the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the next fuel drain to come in. In due time we got the call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the BP filling garage in Abbots Meads and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel light green Hyundai HED-5 rental car by mistake. The poor lady was pretty agitated apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure position and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home calm and a lot less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Cheshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can potentially trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Abbots Meads (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Cheshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of any of the normal issues that can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel in Car in CH1 Postcode - Abbots Meads Misfueling

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a rainy Tuesday and I was off to help an older lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel spotless Mitsubishi Outlander in Abbots Meads. I had been informed she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up along a country road en route to visit her family. I plugged the location into the TomTom and arrived within an hour. I reached the car and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was working she told me, "I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel as I had only just purchased it a short while ago because my former car, which I'd owned for more than twenty five years, inevitably broke down". I got the job completed and she presented me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. What a delightful Cheshire woman!

A lady employed in Abbots Meads phoned us after she had tried to get her misfueled vehicle to work. She had put petrol in her diesel bright white BMW Z4 and, like many people prior to her, imagined that she could simply fill her car with diesel and it'd run fine. The car was chugging and then it cut out when she arrived at the entrance of her work. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it resolved within one hour whilst she was in the office.

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.
