It was just after 8 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and me were resting going over the tennis, ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling station in Westvale and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel sky blue Saab 9-3 lease car by mistake. The poor thing was very troubled apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure space and, because it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living at.

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Westvale (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Merseyside Out of Fuel Service. We will help to re-fill your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at cost) and refill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of the usual troubles that might go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

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

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will result in idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations pretty simply.

Remember that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.


Wrong Fuel in Car in L32 Postcode - Westvale Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Sunday and I was en route to assist an elder woman who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel work's Mitsubishi Excel in Westvale. She told us that she had left the filling station and broken down on a rural road en route to see her family. I plugged the location into the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour or so. I turned up at the car and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. As I was doing it she said, "I have been getting relatively absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had only purchased it a few days ago after my former one, which I'd owned for over 30 years, inevitably died". I got the job completed and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a precious Merseyside lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Westvale - Wrong Fuel in Car Westvale

I had a great day golfing during my afternoon off and was feeling pleased with myself the following day as I headed out to help a new family away in Westvale. They had pulled over after putting diesel into their sombre grey Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class, and were about an hour's travel away. I showed up at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the gal telling her partner off for actually being so silly. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this happens continuously in Merseyside and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to get worried about, however he yet still had an ear bashing. Unlucky lad. In any case, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the right fuel. As they drove away I waved good-bye and pondered on what my wife would tell me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Westvale

We were contacted by a individual whose father's Land Rover Range Rover Sport had broken down on a street after a misfuel. "I got the pumps mixed up and pumped petrol instead of diesel in my vehicle by mistake. These guys came out and resolved the situation after my vehicle gave up." We drained the wrong fuel from the diesel tank and flushed the fuel system completely afterwards and the driver could then go on with his deliveries.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Westvale - Fuel Rescue Westvale

A customer from Westvale with a full car of kids in her diesel dirty red Dodge Colt had filled her car with £40 of petrol at the Tesco filling station. She phoned us crying and extremely upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We told her that the car should be okay and that she would be in action quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but as our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down as she recognised that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She soon enough cheered up and was up and running saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the youngsters in the back."

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.
