It was before ten pm on a Wednesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were sitting there talking about the recent tennis rankings, prepared for the 6th job for the day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Roughton and filled petrol in a diesel wife's Jeep Grand Cherokee lease car. She was rather distressed it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the car to a secure spot and, seeing that it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to reach her right away. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off satisfied and much less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly swiftly.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated near to parking bay we will be able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.


Wrong Fuel in Car in WV15 Postcode - Roughton Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Saturday and we were on my way to assist an elder sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel creamy white VW Touareg 2 in Roughton. I had been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up in a rural lane on route to visit her family. I got the location punched in the TomTom and arrived within 60 minutes. I turned up at the destination and removed the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she said, "I am getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel since I'd only just acquired it a week back because my old car, which I'd had for about 25 years, finally stopped working". I finished the drain and she offered me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a precious Shropshire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Roughton

Now I'm not ever excessively keen on working Sundays, and a week ago was no different. I had just departed the wife and kids following a fantastic roast prepared by the wife, and I was on my way to sort out a fellow who had put the incorrect fuel in his trusty Honda Prelude. He was stationed in Roughton and so it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. Just as I arrived at the car and got out he told me "Praise the Lord! I incredibly had my thoughts on stuff and didn't perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I caused any kind of damage as a result of starting it?" I determined that generally there should not be any kind of damage and also that I would get the fuel drained as quickly as possible. As expected I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in the correct fuel, and another delighted client was able to continue on his traveling without the bother. The man did not stop thanking me, and this is exactly what tends to make carrying out work on weekends in Shropshire just that little bit better for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Roughton - Fuel Rescue Roughton

A woman driving in Roughton phoned us after she tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to her office. She had filled unleaded in her diesel buff Porsche Boxster and, like plenty prior to her, believed that she would be able to just top up her vehicle with diesel and it would run fine. The engine was chugging and then it stopped when she got to the entrance of her office. We soon went to work on the fuel drain after she called and had it repaired in one hour whilst she was at the office. She came out when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm really happy you repaired my vehicle."

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.
