A guy broken down on a street in Frilsham had to have a fuel drain around a month ago. His mint green Smart Fortwo was broken down on the road after he had filled up with the wrong fuel. He was relaxed when he phoned us but somewhat concerned to move his car out of the road because he was generating some congestion. We got to him inside fifteen minutes because our technician was in nearby Frilsham and had just done a fuel drain. He said, "I just don't believe I put unleaded in my diesel car and broke down ! My car was not running well I basically were forced to pull over and after that it cut out."

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will often produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

The driver of a winter grey VW Touareg 2 was sorry that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel car when he got onto the street and it coughed and ground to a halt. "I've gone and put petrol in my diesel car," is what he said to us the first time he phoned. To tell the truth, when he initially telephoned us he said he'd comparison shop, but he called us back shortly because our price and call-out times were the most desirable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Frilsham - Wrong Fuel in Car Frilsham

I enjoyed a great evening golfing during my holiday and felt delighted with myself the next working day as I set out to help a young couple who were on vacation in Frilsham. They stopped after filling diesel into their mint green Peugeot 309, and the car was about an hour away. I got there at their location and smiled to myself as I heard to the lady telling her partner off for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this goes on continuously in Berkshire and that it is nothing at all to worry about, however he still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate boy. Anyways, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove away I waved farewell and pondered on what my missus would tell me if I made the exact same error... I would never live it down!

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.
