It was around five pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were resting commenting on the weekend's football rankings, prepared for the next call for the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Emersons Green and filled petrol in her diesel black Audi S4 hire car by mistake. She was fairly affected apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected space and, because it was only a few minutes away from us, we could find the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away contented and a lot less concerned. A fuel drain in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will often contribute to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances pretty simply.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in BS16 Postcode - Emersons Green Misfueling

Just had a good night of sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Monday and I was en route to help an old lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel light green Citron C4 in Emersons Green. She informed us that she drove away from the filling station and was stranded in a country lane on the way to pay a visit to her family. I got the location punched into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour. I reached the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel as I'd just acquired it a short while back because my other one, which I'd used for over twenty years, finally died". I got the drain done and she gave me a toffee and said thank you. What a lovely Gloucestershire woman!

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.
