It was around 8 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and me were resting there discussing the footy, waiting for the seventh job to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Summit and put petrol in her diesel yellow Mazda B2000 rental car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat affected apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to worry, and that such things often happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe area and, because it was just a short distance away from our van, we could find the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home contented and less worried. Another fuel drain in Greater Manchester done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can easily result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly easily.
Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in OL10 Postcode - Summit Misfueling
Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a sunny Wednesday and we were on my way to assist an elder lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel cobalt blue Subaru Legacy in Summit. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and broken down in a rural road along the way to see her godchildren. I plugged her location into the Satnav and got there inside an hour. I turned up at the car and extracted the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "I have been getting relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd only acquired it several days back when my other one, which I'd had for over 30 years, finally stopped working". I got the drain done and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a lovely Greater Manchester lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Summit - Wrong Fuel in Car Summit
I'd had a great evening fishing on my off day and felt contented the next working day as I headed out to assist a new family who were away in Summit. They had broken down after inserting diesel in their yellow Mitsubishi Montero, and they were roughly half an hour away. I turned up at their location and smirked while I listened to the lady telling off her man for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this problem comes to pass constantly in Greater Manchester and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, and yet he yet still got an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. Anyways, I extracted all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what my missus would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I'd personally never 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:
- 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.
- 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 VA receipt.
- 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.
- 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.
