It was just before six pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and me were sitting there commenting on the recent football rankings, prepared for the next job to come in. Eventually we got a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in East Oakley and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel father's Mercedes SLK55 AMG rental. She was quite affected it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure area and, as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and less anxious. A job in Hampshire done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel can certainly result in idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases rather expediently.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in RG23 Postcode - East Oakley Misfueling

Just had a good night's sleep! 7:30 am on a sunny Sunday and we were off to help an old sweetheart after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel customised Volkswagen Tiguan in East Oakley. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and broken down on a rural road en route to pay a visit to her family. I got her location plugged into the TomTom and arrived inside an hour or so. I reached the destination and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she said, "Now I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car working with diesel seeing that I had just bought it a short while ago after my other one, which I used for over twenty five years, finally broke down". I got the job completed and she presented me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a precious Hampshire 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.
