Our engineer was called out to a petrol station in Canford Heath when a elderly lady misfueled her new Vauxhall Astra by putting petrol in her diesel vehicle. She was in an upset and confused mind-set but we quickly eased her nerves by telling her that we would be with her car in the hour to do the fuel-drain and that the car would before long be up and running and she would be away again. As we'd stated she was just that, but not before saying: "Your company is extremely service driven, I'm especially happy my car is okay," and that she would suggest us to everybody.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank will cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances quite quickly.
Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BH17 Postcode - Canford Heath Misfueling
Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a warm Wednesday and we were on the way to assist an old lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel metallic silver Chevrolet Camaro in Canford Heath. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station and stranded on a country road on the way to see her grandchildren. I got the location punched into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I got to the destination and extracted the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing it she said to me, "Now I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel as I'd just purchased it several days back after my other one, which I had owned for more than twenty five years, inevitably died on me". I got the job completed and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a pleasant Dorset woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Canford Heath - Wrong Fuel in Car Canford Heath
I had a great afternoon hiking during my afternoon off and felt pleased the following working day as I set out to aid a young family who were away in Canford Heath. They conked out after adding petrol in their metallic blue Mazda MX-3, and were roughly an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the wife chastising her partner for actually being so silly. "How could you possibly be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to clarify that this happens regularly in Dorset and that it's truly nothing to get worried about, but he in spite of everything had his ear bent. Unlucky chap. Anyhow, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I would personally never live it down!

Tales from our own Canford Heath staff:
Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Canford Heath
We were phoned by a individual whose dark green BMW 745 had conked out on a road because he put the wrong fuel in it. "I got the pumps mixed up and pumped petrol instead of diesel in my car . These guys arrived and sorted out the situation when my vehicle stopped." We purged the unleaded from the diesel tank and flushed the system meticulously afterwards and the motorist could then continue on with his scheduled delivery.

This was exactly an unsociable time to be on the road. It was roughly 3:30am and noone was around. It was fairly dead so far, and Mark and I were sitting around reading through a few old newspapers. That was a rare quiet moment in Dorset. It was indeed that calm that when the phone inevitably rang it made me jump! The voice on the phone told me: "I've only just concluded my overnight shift and foolishly put petrol in a diesel mom's BMW 545 in error". I told him to inform us just where the vehicle was situated and we left, getting to him in Canford Heath only 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the motor and he said thanks for coming out so fast. As we were heading back home we spotted two young women on the side of the highway who seemed like they had a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over to help them change it, to their delight.

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.
