It was after 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were sitting there commenting on the recent sports, waiting around for the seventh job that day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Oakthorpe and put the wrong fuel in her diesel boss' Mazda B-Series Plus lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was very irritated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure area and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we were able to reach the customer right away. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got extremely soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Leicestershire well done in my opinion!

Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at pump price) to refill your car or truck.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can potentially contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both cases very expediently.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Just had a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 am on a gloomy Monday and I was en route to help an elder sweetheart who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel bright white Smart Forfour in Oakthorpe. She informed us that she had left the filling station and stranded on a rural lane along the way to see her family. I got her location punched into the TomTom and got there inside an hour. I reached the location and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was doing the work she told me, "I am getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car using diesel seeing that I had only just bought it a week ago after my previous car, which I had for more than 25 years, eventually gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. What a pleasant Leicestershire woman!

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.
