It was around 10 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Haighton Top and put the wrong fuel in a diesel rust red Renault Laguna rental in error. The poor thing was pretty troubled it seemed, stating "I can not believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, as it was just a few minutes off from our van, we were able to reach her almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases quite expediently.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Haighton Top - Wrong Fuel in Car Haighton Top

I'd had a terrific day golfing on my afternoon off and was feeling delighted with myself the following morning as I set off to aid a new couple away in Haighton Top. They'd broken down after adding the wrong fuel in their uncle's Cadillac DeVille, and the car was about half an hour away. I showed up at their location and smirked while I heard to the woman telling her husband off for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you even be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this problem comes to pass all the time in Lancashire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he all the same had an ear bashing. Unfortunate chap. Anyway, I drained out all the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted good-bye and wondered what my wife would tell me if I made the very same error... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

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.
