It was around eight pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were seated commenting on the recent tennis results, waiting around for the sixth job that day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Broom Hill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel mate's Cadillac XLR-V hire car in error. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected space and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could find the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and less concerned. Another job in Worcestershire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about petrol in diesel!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Broom Hill (out of gas - as an American would say)? We run a complete Worcestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our specialists can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (acquired at pump prices) and refill your car. They can also fix any of the most common problems that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel may well trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

A fairly alarmed customer called us from the BP filling station at Worcestershire to inform us that he had put petrol into his diesel mum's Mercedes SLK55 AMG; he wasn't quite certain how he'd managed to do it.

I had a fantastic evening cycling on my off day and was feeling satisfied with myself the following day as I was on the way to help a young family who were away in Broom Hill. They'd stopped after putting diesel into their grass green Cadillac SRX, and the car was close to an hour away. I arrived at their position and smiled to myself while I heard to the wife telling her spouse off for turning out to be so stupid. "Precisely how could you even find a way to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this takes place quite frequently in Worcestershire and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, however he yet still had an earful by his missus. Unlucky guy. Anyhow, I removed all the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I waved bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would tell me if I made the exact same error... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

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.
