It was before 9 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and me were sitting there talking about the recent tennis results, waiting around for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Foxhills and filled petrol in a diesel modified VW Jetta lease car. She was fairly distressed apparently, crying "I just can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to get the car to a protected area and, as it was only a few miles off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to return to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and much less worried. A fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant matter to handle in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will often bring about idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases rather easily.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

We can easily get out to re-fill your vehicle in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to refill your automobile. They will be able to take care of the typical problems that can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Foxhills

Now I'm not necessarily that keen on working Sundays, and the other day was no different. I'd just come away from the family after eating a lovely lunch cooked for us by the better half, and I was on the way to sort out a fellow because he filled the wrong petrol in his teal Audi Coupe GT. He was stationed in Foxhills so it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. As I drove up at the car and stepped out he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on something else and did not perceive I'd put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I caused problems through driving it?" I said truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of harm and also that I would personally drain the wrong fuel quickly. It goes without saying that I removed the contaminated fuel from the car and filled it with the correct fuel, and yet another content client could continue on his traveling without the need for fuss. The man did not stop thanking me, and this is what makes operating on Sundays in Hampshire just a tiny bit less painful for me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Foxhills - Fuel Rescue Foxhills

A customer from Foxhills with a full car of children in her diesel uncle's VW Eos had put £50 of petrol at the BP petrol station. She contacted us sobbing and genuinely distraught as she had never wrong fueled and did not know what would happen to her car in doing so. We told her that the car would be fine and that she would be on the road in no time at all. When we got there she was still distressed but while our technician began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she noticed that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the youngsters 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.
