Before long we received the call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Wilburton and filled petrol in a diesel brand new Mitsubishi Diamante rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed apparently, stating "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances very swiftly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Wilburton - Wrong Fuel in Car Wilburton

I enjoyed a terrific afternoon cycling during the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the next day as I was on the way to assist a new family who were vacationing in Wilburton. They'd stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their company's Suzuki Vitara, and the car was about half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the lady berating her man for actually being so stupid. "How could you conceivably be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing goes on everyday in Cambridgeshire and that it is nothing to worry about, nonetheless he still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate guy. Anyhow, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved farewell and wondered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I'd personally 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.
