It was before seven pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were resting there talking about the recent football, ready for the 8th job that day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Westbrook and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel modified Peugeot 505 rental by mistake. She was quite affected apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe spot and, since it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could reach the lady quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and much less worried. Another misfuel correction in Herefordshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Westbrook (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill the car in cases where you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and fill your car. They are also able to deal with any of the usual problems which can go along with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to take care of in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel can result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations fairly expediently.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Westbrook

I am not ever that hot for working Sundays, and a while back was no different. I'd just come away from home filled with a superb lunch cooked by the wife, and I was on my way to assist a fellow because he filled the wrong fuel in his classic Jaguar XF. He was stationed in Westbrook thus it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. As I pulled up behind the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Praise the Almighty! I had my thoughts on stuff and didn't grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I created any kind of damage because of running it?" I said truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of problems and also that I would personally drain the fuel as quickly as possible for him. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with the correct fuel, and yet another happy motorist could continue their journey without any subsequent fuss. The gentleman did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in Herefordshire just a small bit better to me!

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.
