It was just before 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and me were sitting there discussing the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the 6th call that day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Westcott and put the wrong fuel in a diesel bright yellow Audi S4 hire car. The poor lady was somewhat agitated apparently, stating "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to get the car to a protected space and, seeing that it was just a few miles from the office, we could find the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and less apprehensive. One more job in Buckinghamshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases quite swiftly.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in HP18 Postcode - Westcott Misfueling

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Sunday and I was off to help an elder sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel matte black Volkswagen Scirocco in Westcott. I'd been informed she had left the petrol station and was broken down along a rural lane along the way to visit her grandchildren. I popped her location straight into the Satnav and arrived inside 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel seeing that I'd only just acquired it a week ago right after my other car, which I had had for more than twenty five years, eventually died". I completed the drain and she gave me a toffee and said thanks. What a lovely Buckinghamshire woman!

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.
