You're not alone. It's estimated that at least 150,000 drivers put the wrong fuel in their car each year – one every three and a half minutes! And the scale of the problem has been getting bigger too, especially over the last five years with growth in diesel car sales – modern diesels are so quiet it's easy to forget you're driving one, particularly if it's a second family car or hire car. But if you don't realise the wrong fuel is in the tank and drive off, the car could overheat and will inevitably break down. Depending on how much fuel has been drawn into the engine, you could end up with a £5,000 repair bill, which could come out of your own pocket if your insurer refuses to accept your claim The extent of the damage caused by putting the wrong fuel in your car can vary depending on how much of it enters the system. To minimize damage, the engine should not be started; draining the fuel tank (which costs anything from £200 to £500 at a garage) will then help to restore the vehicle. we can offer a considerable saving on these prices and attend the vehicle usually within 1 hour.

Not a bad view from the office while visiting Bridlington.

A Customer called us after he had filled up at BP Bridlington and drove to the sea front with his family. The Easter traffic was a little heavy. The car just suddenly came to a stop. Having 2 cars in the family he shortly realised his mistake. He had accidentally put the wrong fuel in his vehicle. We were recommended by one of his friends, gave an ETA of 60 mins (reached in 55 mins - unsure how as the traffic was horrendous).
We then drained the vehicles fuel tank and engine, flushed everything out on the fuel system and re-filled the customers car with fuel. He then went back and filled up with the correct fuel. Mr Howe then emailed us the following “Good Afternoon, one of your fuel technicians came out to me this morning after I accidentally filled up with the wrong fuel. Can I just say what an asset you have to your company. The guy was very polite and professional. Thank you for your service and I would recommend this company to anyone in the same position as myself.”

⚡️💥 SPARK PLUGS 💥⚡️

The diesel pump at all fuel stations is a little bit bigger than most petrol filler necks, so it normally doesn't really fit. There are a few exceptions when the diesel nozzle can fit into a petrol car (ie some imports).
The majority of the vehicles we attend are diesel vehicles (petrol into a diesel car/van/truck). It’s far less common to put the wrong fuel in a petrol car than putting petrol in a diesel car.

So what happens when you put diesel in a petrol car?

Petrol ignites by a spark from the spark plug(s). Diesel in a petrol engine clogs up the spark plugs and fuel system, the vehicle will start to begin with using the fuel already in the fuel system but within a few minutes the diesel you have just put into the petrol car will reach the engine. When this happens the car simply won’t start or continue to run.
It's a real pain in the butt…….. it's not as bad as the damage that petrol can cause to a diesel engine. Your petrol engine shouldn't have any permanent damage once the fuel's drained out however with hybrids coming into the market and more petrols on sale we are seeing an increase of Diesel into a petrol cars and one of the most common failures is spark plugs.
Here we have some plugs removed from a vehicle which had diesel in the petrol car. This vehicle had been serviced from the dealership a few months prior to the misfuel mistake.

Have you filled up with the wrong fuel?

🤔 Memory Lane 🤔

11 Years ago when Dave one of our technicians from Forecourt Assist South Yorkshire was called out to a horse box with 12 horses in the wagon. Over 500 litres of petrol/diesel mix put into it. The customer called his specialist insurance/recovery but couldn’t help with the amount of livestock on board. We were authorised to call out assistance from Fuel Rescue meaning the job would be completed quicker. Only having 300L tanks in the backs of our Misfuel vehicles meant we could get the job done with 2 vehicles on scene. The x2 Toyota Hi-Aces attended within the hour and the customer was back on the road within 45 mins not causing to much stress to the horses inside. The customer was very grateful of our services.
