Finally we got the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Greenham and put petrol in a diesel apricot BMW rental car in error. The poor lady was quite troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!"

Out of fuel in Greenham (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Berkshire Run Out of Fuel Service.

They will be able to deal with the standard problems which can accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel will often bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations rather easily.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

This was exactly an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly sunrise and nobody was about. It was rather quiet up to now, and Ryan and I were loafing around perusing a couple of old papers. That was a rare tranquil hour in Berkshire. It was indeed so quiet that the moment the phone eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist stated: "I've just finished my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in a diesel partner's Fiat Punto by mistake". I got him to inform us where exactly the car was located and we left, arriving in Greenham only an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the car. He thanked us profusely for getting there so quickly. While we were coming back home we found two young women on the edge of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat. Accordingly we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
