It was after ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were relaxing discussing the football, at the ready for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Waddingworth and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel grass green Honda CR-V hire car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home relaxed and much less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Lincolnshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious issue to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel can potentially cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases rather easily.

Remember though that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We have been called out to a number of privately owned and industrial properties in Lincolnshire for the purpose of removing and recycling fuel storages.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or possibly even a number of containers in a garage, as long as we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lincolnshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Waddingworth

I'm not excessively enthusiastic about working Sundays, and the other day was the same. I had only just departed home after a magnificent dinner cooked for us by the better half, and I was on the way to help a man after he put the incorrect petrol in his classic Renault Modus. He was only in Waddingworth thus I was there before long. As I pulled up right behind the car and started work he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my thoughts on other stuff and failed to ascertain I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created any damage because of running it?" I said that there probably should not be damage and also that I'd drain the contaminated fuel as soon as possible. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and put in some correct fuel, and another pleased motorist was able to continue on his ride without the difficulty. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is what tends to make carrying out work on weekends in Lincolnshire just a little bit easier for me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Waddingworth - Fuel Rescue Waddingworth

A customer from Waddingworth with her children in her diesel grey Audi S8 had filled her vehicle with £45 of petrol at the Co Op station. She phoned us crying and very distraught as she had never wrong fueled and did not know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that the car should be fine and that she would be back on the road very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but while our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Particularly with the children on board."

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 VA 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.
