Finally we had a call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Coton and put petrol in her diesel teal Honda Civic hire car. She was pretty troubled apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle!

The 3 things you MUST know about petrol in diesel!


Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Coton (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Shropshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill your automobile any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill your car or truck. They are also able to handle the usual problems which could accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases quite swiftly.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Coton - Wrong Fuel in Car Coton

I appreciated a fantastic evening hiking during my off day and felt satisfied with myself the following day as I set off to assist a young couple on holiday in Coton. They had conked out after filling the wrong fuel in their faithful Kia Sportage, and they were approximately half an hour away. I arrived at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the gal telling her husband off for being so silly. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this situation takes place all the time in Shropshire and that it's truly nothing to fret about, however he in spite of everything got his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate guy. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the very same thing... I would never ever live it down!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Coton

I am not ever excessively enthusiastic about working on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I had only just left home following a lovely dinner prepared by the missus, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman because he put the wrong fuel in his beloved BMW M Roadster. He was stationed in Coton so I was there very quickly. Just as I drove up right behind the car and got out he explained to me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my concentration on other things and failed to realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought about any kind of problems simply by running it?" I determined truth be told there shouldn't be harm and that I'd get the wrong fuel drained immediately for him. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some appropriate fuel, and so one more happy client could continue on their traveling without any difficulty. He couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what can make operating on weekends in Shropshire just a tiny bit less painful for me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Coton - Fuel Rescue Coton

A driver from Coton with her kids in her diesel black Audi Coupe Quattro had filled her car with £42 of petrol at the BP petrol station. She contacted us weeping and extremely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and did not know what might happen to her car in doing so. We told her that everything would be fine and that she would be back on the road in no time at all. When we got there she was visible distressed but as our technician began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked. She quickly cheered up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Specifically with the youngsters 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.
