The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Run Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Bucknell (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We perform a full Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to come to re-fill your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) to refill your vehicle. They are also able to handle the standard troubles which may go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can potentially contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances quite simply.

Remember though that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Ahhh, that was a good night's sleep! 7:30 on a sunny Tuesday and we were off to assist an older lovely lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel buff Jeep Commander in Bucknell. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down on a backwater lane along the way to visit her grandchildren. I popped her location into the Satnav and got there within 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was working she told me, "I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I had only just got it a short while ago because my old car, which I used for about twenty years, eventually died on me". I got the drain done and she gave me a toffee and said thank you. What a delightful Shropshire woman!

We are aware of what's important to you and for that reason are completely insured and licenced for our occupation. We can easily cope with virtually all automobile kinds without regard to whether they have been driven on contaminated fuel or just misfueled.

We were called by a customer whose dark blue Volvo C70 had conked out on a road after a misfuel. "I confused the pumps and pumped the wrong fuel in my car in error. You guys came out and fixed the situation when my car gave up." We drained the unleaded from the diesel tank and flushed the engine thoroughly and the customer could then carry on with his deliveries.

This really was an unsociable time to be on the road. It was close to 2am and noone was around. It was quite uneventful until now, and me and Brian were sitting about browsing several old magazines. It was an uncommon quiet time in Shropshire. Actually it was so tranquil that the moment my mobile finally rang it made me start! The customer on the phone told me: "I finished my evening shift and stupidly put petrol in a racing green Honda Civic Si by mistake". We told him to let us know just where he was located and we left, arriving in Bucknell not as much as an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the engine and he said many thanks for getting there so quickly. While we were heading back to base we noticed two young ladies on the side of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to help them change it, 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 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.
