It was just before 9 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Brian and I were sitting there going over the recent sports results, ready for the seventh call of the day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Tilsmore and put petrol in a diesel sunflower yellow Renault Alliance rental car by mistake. She was quite troubled apparently, stating "I can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to fret, also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at her fairly quickly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to address in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases pretty quickly.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Tilsmore - Wrong Fuel in Car Tilsmore

I'd had a great evening hiking during my holiday and felt satisfied the next working day as I set out to assist a new couple holidaying in Tilsmore. They stopped after putting diesel in their deep grey Peugeot 106, and the car was approximately an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smiled while I heard to the gal berating her husband for actually being so silly. "How could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this happens constantly in East Sussex and that it is nothing at all to fret about, however he in spite of everything got an ear bashing. Unlucky guy. Anyway, I removed all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I mouthed hasta la vista and thought about what my wife would tell me if ever I did the exact same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
