It was before 6 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were seated discussing the rugby, prepared for the next call to come in. In due time we got the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Wilksby and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel rugged Peugeot 405 hire car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat distressed apparently, stating "I cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was only a few miles from where we were, we were able to find the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and much less worried. Another job in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will often bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases fairly quickly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Tuesday and I was en route to help an elder sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel old Jaguar XF in Wilksby. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded in a backwater lane on route to see her godchildren. I popped her location in the Satnav and got there within an hour. I reached the location and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was doing it she said, "I am getting relatively forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car needing diesel because I had only bought it several days back after my old car, which I'd had for more than thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Lincolnshire lady!

I had enjoyed a perfect day golfing during my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the next working day as I was on the way to help a new couple on holiday in Wilksby. They'd conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their customised Peugeot 2008, and were approximately half an hour away. I turned up at their position and laughed to myself while I heard to the woman berating her husband for being so stupid. "How could you conceivably be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this kind of thing comes to pass quite frequently in Lincolnshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be concerned about, and yet he still had an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive off I waved so long and considered what her indoors would do to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car Lincolnshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Wilksby

A teen who had recently passed his driving test had wrong fueled his light blue Cadillac Brougham by getting petrol in the diesel car at the service station close to Wilksby. He said, "This is only the third time I have fueled my car from the time when I purchased it and I have no idea of what to do." He was also afraid since his step father had only just paid for the car. He came across us on the web and so called it instantly, afraid about what he should do. Our person on the call advised him that we could be there inside forty-five minutes and to not touch his vehicle while he waited. We carried out the drain on his vehicle and he mentioned how amazed he was that it was handled so quickly and without consequence at all.

This was certainly an unsociable hour to be up. It was about dawn and almost noone was stirring. It was pretty dead so far, and Brian and I were loafing about looking at some old papers. That was an uncommon quiet time in Lincolnshire. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that the instant the phone ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The customer on the opposite end said: "I have just completed my night shift and incredibly put petrol in my diesel sombre grey Jaguar S-Type in error". I told him to inform us where the car was and we set off, ending up in Wilksby no more than an hour or so later. The fuel was taken out from the engine. He thanked us profusely for arriving so quickly. As we were heading back home we found two young ladies at the edge of the street who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we pulled up to change it, much to their delight.

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.
