It was before seven pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and I were resting talking about the weekend's tennis results, ready for the 8th call for the day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Cheapside and put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic blue Mazda B-Series hire car by mistake. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, since it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away calm and a lot less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Hertfordshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank will trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations quite expediently.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SG9 Postcode - Cheapside Misfueling

What a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a bright Saturday and I was on the way to help an elder lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel daughter's Toyota Corolla in Cheapside. She informed us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down on a country road on the way to see her family. I got her location punched in the Satnav and arrived within an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel in the car car. Whilst I was working she said, "Now I'm getting relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel as I'd just got it several days ago when my former one, which I'd used for over twenty five years, finally gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a pleasant Hertfordshire 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.
