It was just before 10 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and me were seated there commenting on the tennis rankings, prepared for the seventh call to come in. Eventually we got a call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Peatling Magna and filled petrol in her diesel super Dodge Challenger lease car by mistake. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected spot and, as it was no more than a few miles off from us, we could get to her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the motel she was residing in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and much less worried. Another misfuel correction in Leicestershire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to address in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank is likely to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations fairly expediently.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel.

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.
