It was just after five pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were relaxing talking over the weekend's football rankings, waiting for the 6th job of the day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Cambridge and filled petrol in her diesel brother's Ford Ranger hire car by mistake. She was quite troubled apparently, crying "I can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the car to a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from us, we could find her swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and less anxious. One more job in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Cambridge (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to re-fill your automobile if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They will be able to deal with the typical issues that might come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can certainly bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances pretty expediently.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.


Wrong Fuel in Car in GL2 Postcode - Cambridge Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a gloomy Tuesday and we were on my way to assist an old sweetheart who put the wrong fuel in her diesel dark green Fiat Ulysse in Cambridge. I'd been advised she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded on a backwater road on the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and was with her within an hour. I arrived at the destination and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing it she said, "I am becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel as I'd just purchased it a few days back after my former one, which I owned for about twenty years, eventually died". I got the job completed and she gifted me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Gloucestershire lady!

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.
