It was before ten pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and me were resting discussing the weekend's golf results, waiting for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we got the call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Bottisham and put petrol in a diesel blue Vauxhall Insignia hire car. She was pretty irritated apparently, saying "I can not believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe spot and, because it was just a few minutes off from us, we were able to reach her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and less anxious. Another job in Cambridgeshire done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will often lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations fairly swiftly.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CB25 Postcode - Bottisham Misfueling

A motorist had come to a halt on a street, Bottisham having just misfueled. She was sobbing and truly agitated as she had put £45 petrol in her diesel car. When she contacted us we made an effort to calm her as best we could, reassuring her that everything would be alright. By the time we reached her she was no longer upset and was pretty interested in watching our fuel drainer complete the fuel drain on her deep grey Land Rover Discovery. Soon after she said: "My car is like my child, I only recently paid for it so it genuinely horrified me that I had put such a large amount of wrong fuel in it. I'm so pleased that it was very easily fixable."

Wrong Fuel Assist Bottisham - Wrong Fuel in Car Bottisham

I had a great evening golfing on my off day and felt delighted the next day as I headed out to aid a young family who were vacationing in Bottisham. They'd broken down after filling petrol into their grass green Renault Laguna, and were about an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and smiled as I listened to the girl telling her spouse off for actually being so confused. "Precisely how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this happens on daily basis in Cambridgeshire and that it is nothing to be anxious about, even so he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the lad. Anyway, I drained the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. While they drove away I mouthed farewell and pondered on what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... 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.
