It was before 9 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated there talking about the football rankings, waiting for the 8th call for the day to come in. Finally we had a call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Peterborough and put the wrong fuel in a diesel sunflower yellow BMW 745 lease car in error. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe area and, because it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to find her quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less anxious. Yet another job in Cambridgeshire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant issue to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can easily lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations very expediently.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

A motorist had conked out on a street, Peterborough just after having misfueled. She was sobbing and fairly troubled as she had put £60 petrol in her diesel car.

Wrong Fuel Assist Peterborough - Wrong Fuel in Car Peterborough

I appreciated a perfect evening golfing on my holiday and felt pleased the following morning as I was on the way to assist a young family away in Peterborough. They had pulled over after adding the wrong fuel in their father's BMW 330, and were around an hour away. I showed up at their car and laughed while I heard to the wife chastising her man for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to explain that this problem comes to pass continuously in Cambridgeshire and that it's really nothing at all to be concerned about, nonetheless he yet still got an earful by his better half. Unfortunate lad. Anyway, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching as they drove off I shouted farewell and thought about what her indoors would ask me if perhaps I made the very same blunder... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
