It was before 7 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were relaxing talking about the sports rankings, ready for the sixth job for the day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Moss Edge and filled petrol in a diesel partner's Audi Coupe Quattro rental by mistake. The poor lady was rather troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing as it was only a few miles off from our van, we could get to the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off relaxed and a lot less anxious. One more fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to deal with in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel will often trigger idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases quite easily.

You should know though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in PR3 Postcode - Moss Edge Misfueling

A lady had conked out on a road, Moss Edge just after having misfueled. She was in tears and very agitated as she had put £45 petrol in her diesel car. When she phoned us we made an effort to cool her as best we could, reassuring her that all would be okay. When we arrived with her she was no longer upset and was rather interested in watching our fuel drainer perform the fuel drain on her husband's Kia Sedona. Later on she said: "My car is like my child, I just got it and so it honestly freaked me out that I had put a lot of wrong fuel in it. I'm so pleased that it was very easily repairable."

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 VA 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.
