It was about 8 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were seated there talking over the weekend's football results, at the ready for the sixth call that day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Thistley Green and put petrol in a diesel mint condition Land Rover Freelander lease car by mistake. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from the office, we were able to find the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was removed and she could get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less worried. Another job in Essex done well in my books!

Motorboat Fuel Drains

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will likely result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations fairly quickly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CM3 Postcode - Thistley Green Misfueling

Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a warm Saturday and I was on the way to assist an elder lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel blue Mercedes-Benz S-Class in Thistley Green. I'd been told she had left the petrol station forecourt and broken down along a backwater lane on route to visit her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I got to the car and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the work she told me, "I am getting rather forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel as I'd only acquired it a couple of days back when my former one, which I owned for more than 30 years, inevitably died on me". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. Such a delightful Essex lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Thistley Green - Wrong Fuel in Car Thistley Green

I'd had a terrific afternoon fishing on my off day and felt delighted the next working day as I headed out to help a new couple on vacation in Thistley Green. They had broken down after inserting petrol in their raspberry red Mitsubishi L300, and they were close to an hour away. I arrived at their location and smiled while I listened to the gal telling her partner off for actually being so foolish. "How could you even find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this comes to pass regularly in Essex and that it's really absolutely nothing to stress about, however he all the same had an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. Anyway, I drained out the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. As they drove off I shouted bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever 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 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.
