It was just before 5 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and me were seated going over the recent golf, prepared for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Woburn and put the wrong fuel in a diesel cobalt blue Nissan 350Z Roadster rental. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from us, we could get to the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and a lot less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Bedfordshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Woburn (out of gas - as an American might say)? We run a comprehensive Bedfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill the car in cases where you are having difficulty on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump prices) and refill your vehicle. They will handle the normal problems that may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, and even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is going to produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases quite quickly.

Take note however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be totally wet and useless.

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.
