It was just after 6 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it had not given up on raining! Mark and I were seated going over the weekend's sports results, at the ready for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Cold Ash and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel raspberry red Volkswagen Passat rental car. The unfortunate thing was quite troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle!

We are able to come to fill up the car in the event that you are having difficulty on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our engineers can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (at cost) and refill your car or truck. They will be able to fix any of the most common problems which can go along with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will often lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Ahhh, that was a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Tuesday and I was on my way to help an old lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel mint condition Cadillac STS in Cold Ash. I had been told she had driven away from the filling station and broken down along a rural road on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped the location in the TomTom and got there within 60 minutes. I got to the car and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. As I was doing the drain she explained, "I have been becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car taking diesel since I'd only just bought it a couple of days back after my old car, which I owned for over 25 years, eventually died". I finished the drain and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful Berkshire lady!

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.
