It was before 8 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were seated there discussing the golf results, at the ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling garage in Etloe and filled petrol in her diesel grey Mitsubishi Challenger lease car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated apparently, crying "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected space and, as it was only a short distance off from our van, we could reach her without delay. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying at.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel will likely produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases fairly swiftly.

Remember that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Etloe - Wrong Fuel in Car Etloe

I enjoyed a wonderful evening golfing on my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the next morning as I headed out to aid a new couple who were holidaying in Etloe. They broken down after inserting the wrong fuel into their light green Volvo C70, and were roughly half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and smirked as I listened to the girl telling her spouse off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing comes to pass on a regular basis in Gloucestershire and that it's really nothing to stress about, however he still got an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted farewell and considered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I made the same blunder... I would 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.
