The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!




After arrival

Upon arrival, our experienced technician will first inspect your vehicle to guarantee that it is the issue of wrong fuel in the car. And if it is not, he won't drain it but will only ask you for a minimal amount.

If it is actually the issue 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. You should not worry that we over-charge you for the fresh fuel; our cost is exactly the same as the current pump price. And when it's time to pay, we can take all major debit and credit cards, as we understand you may not have enough cash and have probably stopped a long way from the nearest cash machine.

AdBlue and Water Contamination

There are other causes of engine problems apart from filling your car with the wrong fuel. Such symptoms as insufficient power, irregular running, excessive smoke, and engine stalling may also be due to fuel that is contaminated with water. Besides, it can make the fuel filters unusable and require replacement.

A diesel-powered car may also show such signs when someone puts AdBlue directly into the vehicle’s fuel tank. This can be done so by adding it to its own separate tank and dosing system which is inbuilt into the car.

But don’t worry as regardless of whether it is a matter of contaminated fuel due to water or AdBlue, we are still able to help you. We can get you back to your journey after we carry out the same procedure as fixing an engine with wrong fuel. Works include draining and flushing, then, priming with fresh fuel. Additionally, we can help you replace the fuel filters broken by water contamination so you don’t need to bother about them.

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

A person contacted us from his Farthing Green after he had come to a halt on the congested street.

Fortunately we were able to attend him in a reasonably short time, considering the fact it was rush-hour, and he was shortly back behind the wheel.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Farthing Green - Fuel Rescue Farthing Green

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a bright Saturday and we were on my way to help an old lady who put petrol in her diesel Farthing Green. I'd been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and was stranded in a rural road along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour. I arrived at the car and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said, "I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car needing diesel seeing that I'd only just acquired it a few days ago after my other one, which I'd owned for more than 30 years, finally stopped working". I got the job done and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a delightful lady!

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.
