It was just after six pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased pouring! Paul and me were relaxing there talking over the golf, waiting around for the 6th call to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Hoobrook and put petrol in a diesel uncle's Volkswagen Fox lease car in error. She was quite irritated it seemed, saying "I can not believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we could get to the woman without delay. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off relaxed and not so concerned. One more fuel drain in Worcestershire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Hoobrook (out of gas - as the Americans might say)? We perform a comprehensive Worcestershire Out of Fuel Service. We're able to get out to re-fill your car any time you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to handle any of the usual issues that may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel may lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases very simply.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

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.
