The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations pretty simply.

Be aware that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Fordgate (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We operate a full Somerset Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) and refill your car or truck. They can also handle any of the usual problems that might come with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.


Wrong Fuel in Car in TA7 Postcode - Fordgate Misfueling

A lady had broken down on a street, Fordgate having just put petrol in her diesel car. She was crying and fairly agitated as she had put £60 petrol in her diesel car. When she called us we tried to calm her as best we could, assuring her that it would be fine. By the time we got to her she was not distressed any more and was quite curious in watching our fuel drainer do the fuel drain on her khaki green Audi S4. Later she said: "My car is like my child, I only recently got it and it genuinely worried me that I had put a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm very happy that it was easily repairable."

We showed up quickly, performed the drain and filled him up again with untainted Diesel.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Fordgate

We performed a wrong fuel removal exercise near a beautiful residence in Fordgate recently. "I had put unleaded in my diesel car and managed to more or less reach home when my car stopped."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Fordgate - Fuel Rescue Fordgate

It truly was what is called the night shift. It was roughly 3:30am and hardly anyone was about. It had become pretty uneventful so far, and Ryan and I were sitting about browsing a few old papers. That was an unusual tranquil moment in Somerset. It was that quiet that the instant the phone rang it made me start! The voice on the opposite end told me: "I have only just completed my evening shift and stupidly filled petrol in my metallic blue Mercedes SL-Class". We got him to let us know just where he was located and we set off, arriving in Fordgate only half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the motor. He thanked us for arriving so fast. While we were returning home we found two girls on the edge of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. Accordingly we got out to change it, much 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 VA 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.
