It was after five pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were resting going over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the seventh job for the day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Bolton Houses and filled petrol in her diesel customised Cadillac Seville hire car. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure area and, because it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to get to her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Lancashire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases pretty simply.

Take note that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Bolton Houses - Wrong Fuel in Car Bolton Houses

I enjoyed a perfect evening hiking on my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a new family who were on holiday in Bolton Houses. They had conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their work's Austin Mini Cooper S, and the car was around half an hour away. I turned up at their car and smirked while I listened to the girl telling her husband off for turning out to be so foolish. "Precisely how could you actually be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this takes place frequently in Lancashire and that it's nothing at all to fret about, even so he all the same had his ear bent by his better half. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive off I waved bon voyage and considered what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
