It was just after five pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting discussing the recent football rankings, ready for the sixth call to come in. Finally we got the call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Rushock and put the wrong fuel in her diesel boss' Audi A8 rental car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things sadly can happen. She was able to move the car into a secure position and, since it was just a few miles from where we were, we could find the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away calm and not so concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Worcestershire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases rather simply.

Remember that any time the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

We can easily help to re-fill the car in the event that you are stuck on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump price) to refill the car.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DY10 Postcode - Rushock Misfueling

A fairly concerned motorist phoned us from the Texaco filling station at Worcestershire to inform us that he had put petrol in to his diesel buff Seat; he wasn't totally certain how he'd managed to do it. We explained to him it was no problem and soon enough had our man out to him to clean the incorrect fuel from his vehicle. Having purged the wrong fuel, he was almost immediately back driving. He told us; "I am honestly shocked I put petrol in my diesel car. And the chap who arrived to carry out the fuel drain was incredibly pleasant - he did not make me look stupid."

A person phoned us from Rushock saying he had stupidly piped unleaded in to his diesel grey Honda Prelude. "What a nightmare! How could I put petrol in my diesel car!" It took our engineer around fifty minutes to fully drain the contaminated fuel from the car. He totally flushed the fuel lines, filter and pumps and after that put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it didn't cost him dealership rates to have the work professionally done.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Rushock

Now I'm certainly not overly keen on doing the job on weekends, and the other day was the same. I had only just departed the wife and kids following a lovely Sunday roast prepared for us by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a man because he put the wrong fuel in his bright red BMW X6 M. He was situated in Rushock and so I arrived on scene before long. Just as I pulled up right behind the car and stepped out he told me "Thank the Lord! I had my thoughts on stuff and did not realise I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it possible I inflicted any harm by simply running it?" I revealed that generally there shouldn't be any kind of harm and that also I'd drain the fuel at once. Needless to say I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and another satisfied motorist was able to carry on with their ride without any subsequent bother. The gentleman did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what makes working on Sundays in Worcestershire that little bit less painful in my opinion!

A customer working in Rushock phoned us as soon as she had managed to get her misfueled vehicle to work. She had filled petrol in her diesel boss' Audi A3 and, like countless before her, assumed that she could just fill up her car with diesel and it'd be fine. The vehicle was coughing and then it stopped when she arrived at the the front of her work. We soon went to work on the fuel drain following her call and got it resolved in an hour or so while she was in the office. She came outside when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm really glad you fixed my vehicle."

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.
