It was just after eight pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated there talking over the recent football, ready for the next telephone call to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Ford and put the wrong fuel in her diesel bright red Suzuki Sidekick rental in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure position and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to reach her without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. Another misfuel correction in West Sussex done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will likely bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances very swiftly.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Ford

I'm not ever so enthusiastic about doing work Sundays, and the other day was no different. I'd just left the family after having a magnificent roast prepared for me by the missus, and I was en route to sort out a gentleman after he had filled the wrong petrol in his bright red Cadillac Catera. He was stationed in Ford therefore it wasn't a long time before I reached him. As I arrived at the rear of the car and stepped out he told me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on something else and didn't ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created any harm by simply starting it?" I stated that there should not be any kind of harm and also I'd drain the fuel at once for him. Naturally I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and so one more happy client could continue on their journey without any subsequent difficulty. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this makes working on weekends in West Sussex just a small bit better for me!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Ford - Fuel Rescue Ford

A lady from Ford with a full car of little ones in her diesel company's Chevrolet Cavalier had filled her vehicle with £42 of petrol at the filling station. She called us sobbing and very upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and did not know what would happen to her vehicle because of it. We assured her that all would be ok and that she would be ready to go quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable. She soon enough brightened up and was on her way saying, "I can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my car! Especially with the children on board."

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.
