Wrong Fuel in Car Barnsole - Petrol in Diesel Car Barnsole

I had a fantastic afternoon cycling on my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful with myself the following day as I set off to help a new family who were on holiday. They stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their Barnsole, and they were roughly an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and laughed to myself as I listened to the woman telling her spouse off for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you actually find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this takes place on daily basis and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he yet still had his ear bent. Unfortunate chap. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive away I waved farewell and considered what my missus would do to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car Barnsole - Petrol in Diesel Car Barnsole

What a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a rainy Sunday and I was on the way to help an older woman who put contaminated fuel in her diesel Barnsole. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded in a rural lane on the way to pay a visit to her family. I punched her location into the TomTom and got there within an hour or so. I arrived at the destination and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "Now I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car using diesel because I'd just bought it several days ago after my former one, which I'd used for more than thirty years, inevitably broke down". I finished the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a lovely woman!


The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!




When we get to your vehicle

The very first task that our mechanic will do once he arrives at your place is to confirm if the issue you reported via our customer service is correct or not - misfuelling. If the finding is negative, no services will be done on fixing the suspected incorrect fuel in a vehicle. You won't be charged for the quoted services, rather, a call out charge will be asked of you.

If, as it is in most cases, it is an issue of having the wrong fuel in the car, our technician is completely equipped and experienced to drain out the fuel, flush the system and fill the car with the correct type of fuel. You should not fret that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly the same as the present pump price. We are very considerate when it’s time to make the payment, we know this is an emergency situation for you so we don't insist on cash but accept all the major debit and credit cards.

Contamination with Water and AdBlue

Aside from wrong fuel, water can also cause similar signs, such as the production of a lot of smoke, a rough running of the engine, indications of no power and stalling. Hence you should also suspect it. But you must also note that water can cause other serious damages like damage to fuel filters.

The same set of symptoms may also be due to somebody trying to put AdBlue directly into the fuel tank of a diesel engine. This can be done so by adding it to its own separate tank and dosing system which is inbuilt into the vehicle.

But you can relax if you experience any of the above problems since we can flush the system just like in the case of incorrect fuel. So, if your problem is incorrect fuel, water contaminated fuel, broken fuel filters or AdBlue into the incorrect tank, don’t worry, we can fix it for you thus enabling you to continue with your journey.

Other Services

Just had a great night of sleep! 7:00 on a bright Sunday and we were on the way to help an elder lady who had put petrol in her diesel Barnsole. I'd been informed she had left the petrol station and was pulled up in a backwater lane en route to see her family. I punched the location into the TomTom and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I got to the car and removed the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I'd only just got it a week ago because my former one, which I owned for about 25 years, inevitably died". I got the drain done and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a precious woman!

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.
