Dan and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's golf results, prepared for the 8th call of the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Hearn and put petrol in a diesel metallic red BMW 600 rental car. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this sadly happen.

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to address in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can easily trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances quite swiftly.

Remember though that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

We can get out to fill up your automobile any time you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump prices) and fill up the car. They will fix any of the normal issues which might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

It's no fun being stranded in a automobile with the wrong fuel on the road. Recently a customer who filled her car with the wrong fuel (navy blue Volvo940) in Hearn encountered literally that issue: "You probably know that I mistakenly filled my petrol car with diesel recently. I was so distressed about my mistake that I was actually in tears. But I shouldn't have worried seeing as you were brilliant in resolving it."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Hearn - Fuel Rescue Hearn

A driver from Hearn with her youngsters in her diesel new-shape Mercedes-Benz E-Class had filled her car with £50 of petrol at the Co Op filling station. She contacted us weeping and very worried as she had never wrong fueled and did not know what might happen to her car because of it. We assured her that the car should be okay and that she would be back up and running very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she recognised that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Specifically with the kids 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.
