It was around 6 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were relaxing talking over the recent rugby results, at the ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Redwith and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel grey Volvo XC70 hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could arrive at the customer right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Redwith (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Shropshire Out of Fuel Service. We can get out to fill up your car any time you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or even at your home. Our specialists can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump price) and refill your automobile. They can also take care of the normal problems that could come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, and even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to address in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can certainly bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations rather expediently.

Take note however that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

A customer had come to a stop on a road, Redwith having just put the wrong fuel in her car. She was crying and very troubled as she had put £40 of petrol in her diesel car. When she phoned us we made an effort to cool her as best we could, assuring her that all would be ok. When we reached her she was not annoyed any more and was really fascinated in observing our engineer perform the fuel drain on her clean white Cadillac Eldorado.

Wrong Fuel Assist Redwith - Wrong Fuel in Car Redwith

I had a perfect day hiking on my holiday and felt contented with myself the following day as I headed out to assist a young couple on holiday in Redwith. They'd stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their rust red Land Rover Range Rover Sport, and the car was about half an hour away. I showed up at their location and laughed to myself while I heard to the girl telling off her partner for being so silly. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this situation takes place quite frequently in Shropshire and that it's nothing to be anxious about, even so he still had an ear bashing. Poor chap. Anyway, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled it up with the right fuel. While they drove off I mouthed hasta la vista and thought about what my wife would tell me if perhaps I made the same error... I'd never ever live it down!

A gentleman who had put petrol in his diesel metallic grey Audi TT contacted us for a fuel drain at the Murco petrol filling station in Redwith. He decided to fill up before continuing on to the nearby holiday park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put unleaded rather than diesel which probably wasn't a good beginning to our getaway." It was no hassle whatsoever for our engineer to go and carry out the fuel drain. We hope the family had a good holiday break.

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.
