It was around 7 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were resting there talking about the weekend's sports results, ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Eau Withington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel black VW Fox rental car. The unfortunate lady was rather distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to move the car to a safe area and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could get to the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and less concerned. Yet another job in Herefordshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Eau Withington (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a full Herefordshire Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your vehicle any time you are stuck on the motorway, roadside in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (acquired at pump prices) to fill your car or truck. They will handle any of the standard problems which can go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to take care of in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel is going to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases rather expediently.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Eau Withington

I am not actually that inclined to running Sundays, and last week was the same. I'd just left the wife and kids after a tasty dinner made by the missus, and I was on my way to assist a guy who filled the incorrect petrol in his bright red Jaguar S-Type. He was only in Eau Withington and so I arrived there before long. Just as I pulled up at the car and started work he said to me "Thank God! I foolishly had my concentration on other things and didn't grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on any damage by driving it?" I stated that generally there shouldn't be harm and that also I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. Needless to say I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some correct fuel, and then another contented customer had the ability to continue their ride without any hassle. The man did not stop saying thanks to me, and that can make working on weekends in Herefordshire just that little bit less painful for me!

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.
