It was before 5 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were seated there going over the recent golf results, waiting around for the 6th job for the day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP filling station in Brascote and filled petrol in a diesel husband's Ford Transit rental. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected spot and, because it was just a short distance off from us, we could get to the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off contented and not so worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Leicestershire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may well lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in LE9 Postcode - Brascote Misfueling

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a warm Wednesday and I was en route to assist an elder lady after she put petrol in her diesel sombre grey Toyota FJ Cruiser in Brascote. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and pulled up along a backwater lane on route to see her godchildren. I plugged the location in the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour or so. I got to the car and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was working she said to me, "Now I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had just acquired it a short while ago right after my old car, which I had had for in excess of twenty five years, finally broke down". I got the drain completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a delightful Leicestershire lady!

I had a terrific afternoon fishing on my holiday and was feeling delighted the next morning as I set out to help a young couple holidaying in Brascote. They conked out after putting petrol in their raspberry red Ford Transit Connect, and they were close to an hour away. I got there at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the wife telling off her spouse for actually being so daft. "Just how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this situation happens regularly in Leicestershire and that it's actually nothing to worry about, even so he still got an earful. Unfortunate chap. In any case, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed farewell and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if I made the exact same mistake... I would never ever 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 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.
