It was after 7 pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were relaxing commenting on the weekend's footy rankings, at the ready for the 6th job to arrive. Finally we had a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Thruxton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel clean white Ford Galaxie lease car by mistake. She was quite troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was just a short distance from the office, we were able to reach the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and much less concerned. A fuel drain in Herefordshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


AdBlue In your Fuel

What you can do in case you’ve put AdBlue in your Diesel tank?

AdBlue is a chemical that is made out of a mixture of urea (32.5%) and ionized water (67.5%). It is definitely disastrous to your car's fuel system, particularly any time you started the car with AdBlue in the diesel fuel tank. As soon as the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will undoubtedly be dragged into your fuel lines and will rapidly start to crystalise, causing devastating and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

The owner of a matte black Kia Spectra was sorry that he had put petrol in his diesel car when he got as far as the street and it coughed and ceased. "I've gone and put petrol in my diesel car," is what he informed us the initial time he phoned. In truth, when he initially telephoned us he said he'd research prices, but he called us back before long because our price and arrival times were the most appropriate. Needless to say, our engineer had him again carrying out his deliveries within the period we had estimated.

Wrong Fuel Assist Thruxton - Wrong Fuel in Car Thruxton

I had enjoyed a wonderful day hiking on my afternoon off and felt contented the following day as I set out to help a young family who were holidaying in Thruxton. They stopped after putting the wrong fuel in their elegant Peugeot 406, and the car was close to an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and smiled to myself while I listened to the woman telling off her man for being so silly. "Just how could you even be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass all the time in Herefordshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to fret about, however he yet still got his ear bent. Poor boy. Anyways, I removed all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I mouthed farewell and considered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

We not too long ago received a phone call about a guy who had put the incorrect fuel in his black Mitsubishi Endeavor in Thruxton. He had ground to a halt on the street. "After inserting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't recognise the problem till I conked out. You took the wrong fuel from my car and had it functioning again. I was amazed with both how swift you were and your prices". As you can imagine we showed up rapidly and purged the engine after flushing the unleaded from the diesel tank. The motorist was smiling again by the time we finished and he went away completely happy.

This really was the graveyard shift. It was close to 3:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It had been pretty uneventful so far, and me and John were loafing around reading through a few old newspapers. It was an uncommon quiet hour in Herefordshire. It was in fact that calm that the instant the phone rang it made me jump! The person said: "I only just completed my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in a navy blue Mercedes SL65 AMG". I asked him to inform us just where he was and we hit the road, reaching him in Thruxton an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the engine and he thanked us for coming so rapidly. As we were coming back home we saw two ladies on the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat. Obviously we pulled up to change it, much to their elation.

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.
