It was about 10 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were seated there commenting on the recent footy rankings, waiting around for the sixth telephone call to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Shucknall and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel daughter's Mercedes Sprinter rental. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things regrettably happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could reach her without delay. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off satisfied and not so worried. A misfuel correction in Herefordshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to address in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel can potentially result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances rather expediently.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Just had a good night of sleep! 7:00 on a gloomy Sunday and I was on the way to assist an older sweetheart after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel dad's Citron Zara in Shucknall. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up along a country road en route to visit her family. I got her location punched in the TomTom and arrived inside 60 minutes. I got to the destination and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. As I was working she said to me, "I have been becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd just acquired it a couple of days ago when my previous one, which I had for in excess of twenty years, inevitably died". I got the job completed and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a delightful Herefordshire 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.
