It was about 5 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were sitting there talking over the football results, at the ready for the 8th call to arrive. In due time we got a call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Brilley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel new Audi riolet rental. The poor lady was very troubled apparently, saying "I can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe space and, because it was only a few minutes away from us, we were able to arrive at the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and less anxious. A fuel drain in Herefordshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Brilley (out of gas - as an American might say)? We perform a complete Herefordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to refill the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill the car. They are also able to handle any of the normal troubles which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can potentially cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

What a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Saturday and we were en route to assist an older lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel gorgeous Skoda Superb in Brilley. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station forecourt and was stranded along a country road on route to visit her godchildren. I punched the location into the TomTom and got there inside 60 minutes. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "Now I'm getting quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel because I'd just bought it a couple of days back because my previous one, which I'd had for more than twenty five years, inevitably died". I finished the job and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a delightful Herefordshire woman!

A man had conked out near a street in Brilley. His rugged Jaguar XJ car had stopped operating and he'd no idea what was faulty till he realised he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He contacted us to request a fuel drain and that is when he told us: "I cannot believe that I did not detect that I put the wrong fuel in my vehicle." He said that he had gotten zero rest the night before and that could have been the reason.

We completed a wrong fuel removal exercise outside a beautiful residence in Brilley recently. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to virtually arrive at home when my car quit."

This was certainly what we call the night shift. It was about 2:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was stirring. It had become rather uneventful thus far, and Brian and I were loafing around perusing a few old magazines. That was a rare calm time in Herefordshire. It was so peaceful that the moment the telephone ultimately rang it made me jump! The voice told me: "I have only just finished my overnight shift and stupidly put petrol in a diesel metallic green Mazda RX-8". I got him to let us know where exactly he was and we left, arriving in Brilley an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he thanked us for coming so promptly. While we were coming back home we noticed two girls on the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled over and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
