Brian and I were seated talking about the recent rugby, waiting for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Sixpenny Handley and filled petrol in her diesel modified Audi 4000CS Quattro rental car in error. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe I have ruined the car!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to address in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can easily trigger idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations pretty expediently.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Sixpenny Handley - Wrong Fuel in Car Sixpenny Handley

I appreciated a great afternoon cycling during my afternoon off and was feeling delighted the following working day as I was on the way to aid a new family on vacation in Sixpenny Handley. They had pulled over after inserting diesel in their light blue Fiat 500, and the car was roughly an hour away. I showed up at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the wife telling her man off for being so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this problem occurs on a regular basis in Dorset and that it's actually nothing to be concerned about, even so he yet still had an ear bashing. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. While they drove off I waved goodbye and wondered what my missus would ask me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd never 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 VA 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.
