It was close to five pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring! Brian and I were resting commenting on the recent football, waiting for the next call that day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Bromesberrow and put the wrong fuel in a diesel black Audi Coupe GT rental by mistake. She was very troubled apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably happen. She was able to get the car into a protected position and, as it was no more than a few miles from our van, we were able to get to her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Bromesberrow (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We perform a complete Gloucestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to fill your car or truck. They will deal with any of the usual issues that could go with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can cause idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases quite simply.

Take note that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

A woman had broken down on a street, Bromesberrow having just wrong fueled. She was weeping and very troubled as she had put £45 of petrol in her diesel car. When she called us we made an effort to sooth her as best we could, assuring her that it would be no problem. By the time we arrived with her she was not troubled any more and was pretty interested in watching our engineer do the fuel drain on her dark blue BMW Alpina B7. Later on she said: "My car is like my baby, I recently paid for it so it truly worried me that I had put such a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm terribly gratified that it was so easily fixable."

He totally flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put fresh diesel in the vehicle.

This really was what we call the night shift. It was roughly 2 in the morning and noone was about. It was fairly quiet up to now, and Mark and I were relaxing looking through a few old magazines. This was an uncommon tranquil hour in Gloucestershire. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that the moment the telephone rang it made me jump! The person explained: "I have ended my evening shift and foolishly poured petrol in my diesel rust red Audi Coupe Quattro by mistake". I instructed him to inform us where exactly he was located and we hit the road, arriving in Bromesberrow under an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor. He thanked us profusely for coming so promptly. While we were heading back to base we saw two ladies at the edge of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat. So we stopped to change it, to their elation.

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.
