It was before eight pm on a Monday and while we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing there commenting on the football results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Five Bridges and put petrol in her diesel pristine Mercedes S-Class lease car. She was very affected it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to get the car into a secure spot and, since it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we could get to her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home contented and less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Herefordshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel may well trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations quite simply.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in HR7 Postcode - Five Bridges Misfueling

What a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 am on a bright Sunday and we were on the way to assist an older woman after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel baby blue Peugeot in Five Bridges. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up in a backwater lane on the way to visit her grandchildren. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour. I reached the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she explained, "I have been getting rather forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel as I had only just bought it a short while back after my old one, which I used for about 30 years, eventually broke down". I got the job completed and she offered me a peppermint and said thank you. What a pleasant 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.
