It was after 5 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were seated discussing the footy, waiting around for the next telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Moreton-in-Marsh and filled petrol in her diesel dad's VW Touareg hire car in error. She was somewhat irritated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The bad fuel was removed so she could return to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and a lot less anxious. One more job in Gloucestershire done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Moreton-in-Marsh (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We operate a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to fill up your automobile any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at cost) to refill your automobile. They will be able to fix the most common issues which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to deal with in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances rather simply.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Moreton-in-Marsh - Wrong Fuel in Car Moreton-in-Marsh

I'd had a terrific day cycling on my day off and was feeling pleased the next morning as I set out to aid a young couple away in Moreton-in-Marsh. They'd pulled over after filling the wrong fuel into their grass green Ford Transit, and the car was close to an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed while I listened to the wife telling her man off for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this problem comes to pass on a regular basis in Gloucestershire and that it is nothing to be concerned about, but he all the same got an earful by his missus. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted so long and thought about what my missus would say to me if I did the same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

We not too long ago got a call about a businessman who put the wrong fuel in his dirty red Daihatsu Charade in Moreton-in-Marsh. He had come to a stand-still on the road. "I couldn't believe how quick you guys were in having an engineer out to aid me after I mistakenly filled my diesel car with unleaded. Thank you". Of course we appeared promptly and purged the engine after draining all the unleaded from the diesel tank. When he arrived our fuel drainer said the customer was scowling, but was satisfied after the fuel drain.

A woman from Moreton-in-Marsh with her kids in her diesel red Daewoo Nubira had put £45 of petrol at the Texaco service station. She called us sobbing and extremely worried as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and didn't know what would happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that everything should be fine and that she would be back in action quickly. When we got there she was visible upset but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't wrecked. She quickly brightened up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially 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.
