It was just after 9 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated there going over the football rankings, waiting around for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Langley and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel matte black Nissan JUKE lease car. The unfortunate thing was rather distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things sadly often happen. She was able to move the car into a safe spot and, because it was only a short distance away from the office, we were able to find the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off relaxed and much less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Essex done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel is going to lead to idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations quite swiftly.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Just had a quality night of sleep! 7:30 on a warm Saturday and I was off to assist an elder lovely lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel precious Ford Club Wagon in Langley. I had been informed she had left the filling station and pulled up along a backwater road on the way to see her family. I got her location plugged straight into the Satnav and was with her within 60 minutes. I arrived at the location and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car using diesel since I'd only got it a few days back after my former one, which I had owned for about thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a precious Essex lady!

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.
