It was after 10 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Mark and me were resting there going over the football results, waiting around for the sixth job to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Harmer Hill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel partner's BMW Z8 lease car. The poor thing was pretty distressed apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and that these things do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected area and, as it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to find her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to handle in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank will contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases very simply.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked near to a car parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've successfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.


Wrong Fuel in Car in SY4 Postcode - Harmer Hill Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! It was 7:30 am on a rainy Saturday and I was on my way to assist an elder woman who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel cream Ford C-MAX Hybrid in Harmer Hill. I'd been informed she had left the petrol station and stranded along a rural road on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped the location into the TomTom and arrived within an hour. I turned up at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing it she said, "I am becoming rather absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I had only acquired it a couple of days ago when my other one, which I had had for more than 25 years, finally died on me". I completed the job and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Shropshire lady!

We a few weeks ago received a phone call about a man who put the incorrect fuel in his husband's Audi S6 in Harmer Hill. He had broken down on the road. "I couldn't believe how speedy you people were in sending someone out to help me when I mistakenly put the wrong fuel in my. Thank you".

This was what we call the night shift. It was about 3 in the morning and noone was about. It had been fairly dead up to now, and John and I were sitting perusing a couple of old papers. It was an unusual calm moment in Shropshire. It was in fact that calm that the instant my mobile inevitably rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist on the opposite end told me: "I completed my overnight shift and incredibly put petrol in my diesel aunt's Mitsubishi Montero". I got him to let us know where he was and we set off, getting to him in Harmer Hill an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the motor. He thanked us for arriving so quickly. While we were returning home we noticed two young ladies on the side of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat. Obviously we stopped and helped them change it, to their elation.

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.
