It was close to 10 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not ceased pouring! Ryan and me were relaxing discussing the footy results, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. In due time we got the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Thame and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel uncle's Bentley Continental rental car. The poor thing was rather distressed apparently, telling me "I can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!"

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!

Once the engine has been switched on the AdBlue will undoubtedly be pulled into the fuel lines and will promptly begin to crystalise, resulting in serious and costly harm to your car's fuel system.

Wrong Fuel Assist Thame - Wrong Fuel in Car Thame

I appreciated a fantastic day golfing on my afternoon off and was feeling cheerful the following day as I set out to assist a young couple who were on vacation in Thame. They'd conked out after putting diesel into their rust red Peugeot Partner, and the car was close to half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their position and smirked as I listened to the girl telling her partner off for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing happens on a regular basis in Oxfordshire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to worry about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an earful by his wife. Poor chap. Anyway, I removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching as they drove off I waved goodbye and thought about what my missus would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
