Wrong Fuel in Car Hightown - Petrol in Diesel Car Hightown

A motorist who had put unleaded in his diesel Hightown called us for assistance at the Shell petrol station. He thought it would be good to fill up before continuing on to the local holiday park but had put the wrong fuel in his car. "I put petrol as opposed to diesel which wasn't a wonderful way to begin to our vacation." It was absolutely no hassle whatsoever for our technical engineer to go along and do the fuel drain. We hope everyone enjoyed their getaway.



Signs of the Problem and its Causes

You will likely have just experienced signs of having the wrong fuel in your vehicle, but in the heat of the moment, you may not have taken them all in so here they are again for future reference, in case:

  • Your engine will splutter and not work smoothly
  • If you notice the exhaust, you will notice plenty of smoke coming out
  • Engine appears powerless now matter how hard you push the accelerator
  • The vehicle won't run anymore

The 3 things you SHOULD know about petrol in diesel!



So in the future, regardless of whether you are unfamiliar with the car or the autopilot is in control, you do not have to be afraid. Having this information, understanding symptoms of wrong fuel in your vehicle or other problems should be easy. It would not matter if you are concentrating on the problem or not, you will just identify it.

Presence of water in fuel is another problem

Presence of water in fuel is another thing which can make your car behave in the way discussed above. Hence you also need to consider it. You should know that any fuel which is contaminated with water, regardless of whether your car consumes diesel or petrol , will always fail the engine resulting in an untimely stop.

A lot of modern diesel engines use AdBlue, a system that decreases the pollution of the engine. Having the correct ratio of AdBlue to fuel is significant, hence why a separate tank for the AdBlue. If somebody isn't mindful of this and tries to add it directly into the tank, it will cause problems. You will start to notice similar signs mentioned above but you should not be worried about it. Just bear in mind what we say to you, "we will always be around you and ready to help in your engine trouble, just ask for assistance and we'll be there".


Flammable materials require not only adequate expertise, but also a range of relevant tools to manage them properly. Fuel for example, can ignite easily, turning a small problem into a catastrophic one. You can solve the issue yourself or employ a friend to do it so as to save cash, but you are advised to hire an expert so as to avoid any further fuel related issue.

Besides, our technicians are situated throughout the area, and they have all the skill sets and knowledge, and will handle the issue for you quickly and at an inexpensive price.


Correct Disposal

Along with helping you get rid of the contaminated fuel from your car after serving you, we also offer services like properly disposing of any incorrect fuel that a private citizen or an individual may want to get rid of legally. All we ask from our customers who request us to drain, store or dispose of the contaminated oil is that they give us full access to the containers and whether they are fixed storage containers, mobile bowsers or a combination of tanks, they can trust us to do it in a proper and environmentally friendly way.


First thing our technicians will do upon reaching your place is to ensure if indeed it is a problem of wrong or contaminated fuel. If it is not, they will find out what the actual problem is. And we won’t charge you the quoted price but just a nominal charge.


How long does a fuel drain take

Under normal situations, our mobile technicians take about 30 minutes to resolve the issue, inspect for any other problems and get you back on the road. You should thus be able to be back on the road immediately given that our mechanics have reached your vehicle.

We are glad that you contacted us. Giving us that call was the first step in avoiding a road nightmare as a result of wrong fuel in your vehicle.

Wrong Fuel in Car Hightown - Petrol in Diesel Car Hightown

A guy had conked out near a street. His Hightown motor had ceased functioning and he'd no clue what was faulty right up until he realised he had put petrol in his diesel vehicle. He rang us to get a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I cannot believe that I did not realise that I put the incorrect fuel in my car." He claimed that he had gotten virtually no sleep the evening before and that must have been the reason.

What a quality night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a warm Wednesday and we were en route to assist an older sweetheart who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel Hightown. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and broken down on a backwater road on the way to visit her grandchildren. I popped the location in the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I arrived at the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing it she said, "I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel because I'd only purchased it a short while back right after my previous car, which I'd had for more than twenty five years, finally broke down". I got the drain completed and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. Such a lovely lady!

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 anywhere in West Yorkshire to 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.

Now I'm not ever too interested in doing the job on Sundays, and the other day was the same. I had only just departed the family after having a magnificent Sunday roast cooked by the wife, and I was on the way to assist a gentleman who put the wrong petrol in his Hightown. He was situated nearby therefore it wasn't long before I arrived with him. Just as I drove up right behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my attention on other things and did not perceive I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted some harm through starting it?" I explained that there probably should not be damage and that also I would remove the fuel as quickly as possible for him. Needless to say I got the fuel drained from the car and put in the appropriate fuel, and then one more contented motorist had the ability to carry on with his traveling without any fuss. He did not stop thanking me, and this is actually what makes working on weekends just a small bit better to me!
