It was after eight pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and I were seated discussing the football results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Upper Brailes and filled petrol in her diesel bright white Citron Zara hire car. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to move the car to a safe space and, because it was just a few miles off from the office, we could arrive at her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and less anxious. A fuel drain in Warwickshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant condition to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is likely to result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

Take note that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in OX15 Postcode - Upper Brailes Misfueling

The driver of a silver Mitsubishi Challenger was sorry that he put petrol in his diesel automobile when he got as far as the street and it spluttered and stopped. "I've gone and put the wrong fuel in my diesel car," is what he said to us the very first time he called. To be truthful, when he first contacted us he said he wanted to check around, but he called us back soon enough because our price and call-out times were the most appropriate. Naturally, our technician had him back performing his deliveries within the time period we'd quoted.

We a few weeks ago received a phone call from a businessman who had put the wrong fuel in his cream Jaguar S-Type in Upper Brailes. He had conked out on the road. "It was terrific how quick you guys were in getting an engineer out to assist me when I foolishly filled my car with the wrong fuel. Thank you".

It truly was an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around sunrise and nobody was about. It had been quite dead thus far, and me and John were relaxing browsing a couple of old articles. It was an unusual restful hour in Warwickshire. It was that tranquil that the moment my mobile ultimately rang I leaped! The voice on the opposite end stated: "I finished my evening shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in my silver Mercedes-Benz R-Class in error". We instructed him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was and we left, arriving in Upper Brailes an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He said thanks a lot for showing up so promptly. While we were heading back to the depot we noticed two women at the side of the highway who looked like they had a flat. Accordingly we pulled up to help them change it, to their delight.

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.
