It was before ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the 6th call to arrive. Finally we received a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Royal Oak and filled petrol in a diesel creamy white Chrysler Voyager hire car by mistake. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could reach the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and not so worried. A misfuel correction in Lancashire well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can potentially cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases fairly simply.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Royal Oak - Wrong Fuel in Car Royal Oak

I'd had a great evening golfing during my off day and was feeling pleased the following day as I headed out to assist a young family on vacation in Royal Oak. They'd stopped after inserting petrol in their expensive Hyundai Entourage, and were roughly an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and smirked while I heard to the girl berating her husband for actually being so silly. "Just how could you possibly find a way to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this problem happens on a regular basis in Lancashire and that it's in reality absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he all the same got an earful by his wife. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some right fuel. While they drove down the road I mouthed so long and wondered what her indoors would do to me in the event that I made the very same error... I would personally never 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.
