Wrong Fuel in Car Brenzett Green - Petrol in Diesel Car Brenzett Green

It was just after 9 pm on a Thursday and although we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and I were seated talking about the recent golf rankings, waiting for the next job to come in. Before long we got the call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol garage and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Brenzett Green rental car by mistake. The poor lady was quite distressed apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected position and, because it was no more than a few miles from the office, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home contented and much less worried. A job done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!




After arrival

The first thing that our technician will do once he arrives at your location is to check out your car so as to confirm if indeed it is the issue of incorrect fuel, and if they find out that it is not, he will only ask you for an updated amount of the quoted price.

If it is actually the problem of wrong fuel in a car, our technician will solve it quickly since he carries the tools for flushing out the wrong fuel and refilling the tank with the correct fuel. We don’t charge crazy prices for the fresh fuel either, we just charge the current pump prices. We are quite considerate when it’s time for you to make the payment, we know this is an urgent situation for you so we do not insist on cash but accept all the major debit and credit cards.

Water and AdBlue Contamination

Contamination of fuel by water is another problem which can make your car behave badly. It will make it show the same symptoms as the wrong fuel in a car, such as low power, irregular running, production of too much smoke and even stalling. But unlike wrong fuel, it can make your fuel filters require replacement.

Another thing which can cause similar signs is putting AdBlue directly into the fuel tank. Making use of AdBlue without any knowledge of how it should be refilled can make your car behave abnormally. Hence, it should only be used by somebody who is aware that it should be added to its own tank rather than being added directly to the fuel.

Whether it's the problem of fuel contaminated by water or with AdBlue, we can handle it using similar procedure of draining, flushing, and refilling of the fuel system, which we generally use to solve the issue of incorrect fuel in a car. So, no matter what the cause we can get you on your way. As we deal with your fuel trouble, we can also replace water damaged fuel filters.

We provide this as a service in itself to both commercial and private customers. We can drain fixed or mobile tanks and also a wide variety of other containers, as long as we can get to them. We can then take away the contaminated liquids, and dump them safely to the relevant regulations.

We'll be there very quickly. But if a few minutes is still too long for you to wait, you may redirect your attention through searching other services that we provide. For sure we'll reach you imminently. Once the technician has started his work, he'll simply need about 30 minutes to get the work done and get you back on the road.

A driver who had unfortunately put the wrong fuel in his diesel Brenzett Green called us for assistance at the BP petrol filling station.

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.
