Wrong Fuel in Car Pegwell - Petrol in Diesel Car Pegwell

A somewhat alarmed motorist phoned us from the Total filling station to advise us that he had put petrol in his diesel Pegwell; he wasn't actually sure how he'd done it. We advised him it was no hassle and rapidly had our man out to him to clean the incorrect fuel from his tank. Having removed the bad fuel, he was subsequently back behind the wheel. He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the person who arrived to undertake the fuel drain was very very good - he didn't make me look silly."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Pegwell - Fuel Rescue Pegwell

Just had a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 am on a bright Wednesday and we were on the way to assist an elder sweetheart after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Pegwell. I'd been advised she had left the filling station forecourt and was stranded on a country lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the car and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she explained, "I have been becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel because I'd just bought it several days ago because my former car, which I used for over 25 years, eventually died". I finished the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious woman!

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.
