It was before 6 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Brian and I were resting talking about the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Foul End and put the wrong fuel in her diesel rugged Seat Ibiza lease car in error. She was quite affected by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could get to the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and much less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Warwickshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can potentially cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances very easily.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CV9 Postcode - Foul End Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a good night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Saturday and we were en route to assist an elder lovely lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel precious Ford Transit Connect in Foul End. I'd been told she drove away from the petrol station and was stranded on a backwater road en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and was with her within an hour. I arrived at the car and drained the wrong fuel from the car. As I was working she said, "I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel because I had only bought it a few days ago because my previous car, which I'd used for more than twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she gave me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a precious Warwickshire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Foul End

I'm not ever that enthusiastic about running on Sundays, and a while back was no different. I'd just departed the wife and kids following a magnificent roast cooked for us by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a gentleman who filled the wrong fuel in his new Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class. He was located in Foul End thus it wasn't long before I got to him. As I arrived at the rear of the car and started work he told me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my concentration on other things and failed to perceive I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused any kind of damage through driving it?" I revealed generally there probably should not be any damage and also that I would personally get the fuel drained as quickly as possible. Naturally I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and another content customer could continue on their ride without any subsequent fuss. The guy could hardly stop thanking me, and that is what can make carrying out work on weekends in Warwickshire just a little bit easier in my opinion!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Foul End - Fuel Rescue Foul End

A customer from Foul End with a full car of kids in her diesel company's Citron had put £50 of petrol at the Co Op petrol station. She phoned us sobbing and genuinely upset as she had never wrong fueled and did not know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We reassured her that the vehicle should be alright and that she would be on the road in no time at all. When we got there she was visible upset but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She quickly cheered up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the little ones in the back."

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.

Usual Misfuel Warning signs:

Here is a list of very common wrong fuel symptoms or signs:

  • Loss of vehicle power
