Wrong Fuel in Car Rowton, Cheshire

Local Call-Out and Roadside Repair in Cheshire

Petrol in a diesel car or bike in Rowton? Thanks for visiting Wrong Fuel SoS. Contact us and enquire just how we are able to help to get you back on track once more.

It was before ten pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's sports rankings, prepared for the next job for the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Rowton and put petrol in a diesel red Volvo V50 rental in error. She was very troubled apparently, saying "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that these things sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to find the woman right away. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and much less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Cheshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to an automobile parking spot we will be able to reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances fairly easily.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

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.
