It was around eight pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing there commenting on the football, waiting around for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Coombe and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel navy blue Volvo240 rental. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, stating "I can not believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that things like this do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, as it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to reach the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Services

Run out of fuel in Coombe (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Wiltshire Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your automobile if you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) to refill the car. They can also handle any of the most common troubles which might come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases pretty expediently.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a sunny Monday and I was off to assist an elder lady who had put petrol in her diesel father's Peugeot 405 in Coombe. I had been told she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded on a rural lane along the way to visit her family. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and was with her within 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing it she said to me, "I have been becoming quite forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel as I had only just acquired it a short while ago because my former car, which I had owned for over 25 years, eventually broke down". I completed the job and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks. What a delightful Wiltshire woman!

I'd had a terrific day hiking on my holiday and felt satisfied the next morning as I set off to aid a new couple on holiday in Coombe. They'd conked out after filling the wrong fuel in their silver Hyundai Sonata, and they were roughly an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and laughed as I heard to the girl telling off her man for being so foolish. "Precisely how could you actually be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass continuously in Wiltshire and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he yet still had an earful by his wife. Unlucky lad. At any rate, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some proper fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I mouthed farewell and considered what my wife would tell me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd never live it down!

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.
