It was after 10 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's golf, waiting around for the seventh job to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Bowden Hill and put petrol in her diesel husband's Ford C-MAX Hybrid lease car in error. She was pretty affected apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to find the lady swiftly.

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Bowden Hill (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a complete Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will get out to fill up your automobile in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to fill your car. They are also able to fix the common problems that can come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important condition to address in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can certainly bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Bowden Hill

Now I'm not necessarily too hot for doing the job weekends, and a while back was the same. I had just come away from the wife and kids after having a lovely lunch cooked by the missus, and I was en route to deal with a fellow after he had filled the wrong fuel in his husband's Hyundai Entourage. He was stationed in Bowden Hill so it wasn't a long time before I reached him. Just as I drove up behind the vehicle and got out he told me "Thank God! I incredibly had my attention on other stuff and did not grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I inflicted problems by starting it?" I explained there shouldn't be any kind of damage and also that I'd personally get the fuel drained as quickly as possible. Obviously I removed the fuel from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and thus one more content customer could carry on with his traveling with no bother. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is actually what makes operating on Sundays in Wiltshire a little bit better in my opinion!

A motorist working in Bowden Hill phoned us as soon as she managed to get her misfueled vehicle to her office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel dark green Cadillac CTS-V and, like plenty prior to her, believed that she could just fill up her tank with diesel and it'd run okay. The vehicle was spluttering and then it stopped when she reached the entrance of her office. We quickly started on the fuel drain after she called and had it sorted in 60 minutes whilst she was at the office. She came out when we finished and thanked us stating, "I'm really happy you sorted my car."

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.
