It was close to five pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the next call to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Fox Holes and put the wrong fuel in a diesel mom's Smart Car rental car. She was very troubled it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The bad fuel was removed so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and a lot less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Wiltshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Fox Holes (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a full Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to fill up your car any time you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump price) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to fix the typical troubles that might go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to take care of in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can potentially contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both circumstances fairly easily.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and unusable.

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Saturday and we were off to assist an elder woman who had put petrol in her diesel boss' Daihatsu Rocky in Fox Holes. I'd been informed she had left the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up on a rural lane en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and got there inside 60 minutes. I reached the car and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was working she said, "I'm becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel since I'd just got it several days back after my previous car, which I had for in excess of 30 years, inevitably stopped working". I completed the drain and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. What a precious Wiltshire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Fox Holes

Now I am not necessarily that enthusiastic about carrying out work on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd just departed the family after having a magnificent lunch cooked for us by the better half, and I was en route to assist a gentleman after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his mom's Renault Twingo. He was only in Fox Holes therefore I arrived on scene almost immediately. As I drove up at the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Thank God! I had my concentration on other considerations and didn't grasp that I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused any kind of damage as a result of running it?" I revealed generally there probably should not be problems and that I'd get the wrong fuel drained at once for him. It goes without saying that I got the fuel drained from the car and filled up with some correct fuel, and yet another delighted customer could continue their traveling without the hassle. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this is what helps make carrying out work on weekends in Wiltshire just a little bit less painful for me personally!

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.
