It was close to six pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped raining! James and I were resting talking over the weekend's sports results, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Before long we received the call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Harpers Gate and put the wrong fuel in her diesel rugged Volkswagen Passat rental in error. The unfortunate lady was very agitated apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we were able to reach the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and less concerned. A misfuel correction in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to address in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances rather simply.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Harpers Gate (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Staffordshire Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They can also take care of the most common issues that may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

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.
