Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in your fuel can lead to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances very expediently.
Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DL12 Postcode - Thorpe Misfueling
A young lady had come to a stop on a road, Thorpe having just misfueled. She was sobbing and very agitated as she had put £50 petrol in her diesel car. As she called us we made an effort to sooth her as best we could, encouraging her that everything would be no problem. By the time we got to her she was not upset any more and was really interested in watching our technician carry out the fuel drain on her baby blue VW Scirocco. Soon after she said: "My vehicle is akin to my baby, I just paid for it and so it truly worried me that I had put such an abundance of wrong fuel in it. I'm terribly glad that it was so very easily repairable."

Wrong Fuel Assist Thorpe - Wrong Fuel in Car Thorpe
I had a perfect afternoon golfing on my afternoon off and felt satisfied with myself the following day as I headed out to assist a new family who were on vacation in Thorpe. They'd pulled over after filling petrol into their brother's Mercedes S-Class, and the car was about an hour away. I turned up at their location and smiled while I heard to the woman berating her man for turning out to be so silly. "Precisely how could you possibly manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing goes on regularly in County Durham and that it's really absolutely nothing to stress about, however he all the same had an earful. Poor guy. Anyways, I drained out the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While they drove away I shouted good bye and wondered what my missus would do to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would personally never hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car County Durham - Petrol in Diesel Car Thorpe
Now I'm certainly not overly keen on doing work on weekends, and a week ago was no different. I had just left the wife and kids filled with a lovely Sunday roast prepared for me by the better half, and I was off to help a fellow who had put the incorrect petrol in his cyan Nissan Pathfinder. He was stationed in Thorpe thus I was there very quickly. As I drove up right behind the vehicle and got out he told me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my mind on something else and failed to realise I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I inflicted any problems as a result of starting it?" I stated there shouldn't be damage and that I would drain the fuel as soon as possible. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with the appropriate fuel, and thus yet another happy customer was able to carry on with his ride without the need for hassle. The guy couldn't stop thanking me, and that is actually what helps make working on Sundays in County Durham a little easier for me personally!
Wrong Fuel Doctor Thorpe - Fuel Rescue Thorpe
This really was what is called an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about 3:30 in the morning and noone was about. It had become rather dead thus far, and Brian and I were loafing browsing a couple of old magazines. This was a rare quiet hour in County Durham. Actually it was indeed so tranquil that the moment my mobile inevitably rang it made me start! The customer on the opposite end stated: "I have just finished my night shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in a well worn Audi Q5 in error". I told him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was and we hit the road, getting to him in Thorpe under an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the engine. He said thanks a lot for showing up so rapidly. As we were heading back home we found two young women at the side of the street who seemed to have a puncture. So we pulled over and helped them change it, 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:
- 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.
- 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 VA receipt.
- 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.
- 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.
