It was about 5 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and me were relaxing there commenting on the recent footy rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Townsend and filled petrol in a diesel dark green Volvo V90 rental. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things can happen. She managed to move the car to a protected position and, since it was just a short distance off from our van, we could find her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was residing in. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and a lot less concerned. A misfuel correction in Oxfordshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a significant issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel will often produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Townsend

I'm not actually very interested in doing the job on Sundays, and last week was no different. I had only just come away from the wife and kids following a superb Sunday roast cooked by the missus, and I was off to assist a guy because he put the incorrect fuel in his apricot Volvo740. He was located in Townsend therefore I arrived on scene soon. As I pulled up at the car and stepped out he explained to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my concentration on other stuff and didn't ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any harm simply by starting it?" I stated that truth be told there should not be any kind of damage and that also I would drain the contaminated fuel quickly. It goes without saying that I drained the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and another pleased client could continue his ride without the hassle. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what helps make operating on weekends in Oxfordshire just a little bit easier for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Townsend - Fuel Rescue Townsend

A young lady from Townsend with a full car of children in her diesel pristine BMW 525 had put £20 of petrol at the Sainsburys petrol station. She contacted us crying and really distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel and didn't know what would happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that the car would be ok and that she would be back up and running quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but as our engineer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon cheered up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting petrol in my diesel car! Especially with the kids in the back."

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.
