It was just before seven pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and me were sitting there commenting on the recent rugby rankings, waiting around for the seventh call of the day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Kingston Blount and put petrol in a diesel expensive Renault Clio rental in error. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Kingston Blount (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a full Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to get out to re-fill the car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to handle the typical issues that may accompany running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question an important condition to deal with in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is going to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases quite swiftly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Kingston Blount

Now I'm not actually overly enthusiastic about doing the job on Sundays, and a while back was the same. I had just departed the wife and kids after a magnificent roast prepared by the better half, and I was en route to help a gentleman because he filled the wrong petrol in his dark blue Audi riolet. He was stationed in Kingston Blount thus it wasn't a long time before I got to him. Just as I pulled up at the rear of the car and got out he told me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my attention on stuff and failed to realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought about any harm through running it?" I explained there should not be any kind of harm and that I'd personally remove the wrong fuel quickly for him. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and then yet another delighted customer could continue their journey without the need for hassle. The guy did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in Oxfordshire just a small bit less painful to me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Kingston Blount - Fuel Rescue Kingston Blount

A customer from Kingston Blount with her little ones in her diesel sky blue Land Rover Defender 110 had put £50 of petrol at the BP station. She called us crying and genuinely worried as she had never wrong fueled and did not know what might happen to her car in doing so. We told her that the car would be fine and that she would be in action very quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the little ones 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 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.
