It was just after six pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Dan and I were resting talking about the sports, prepared for the 8th call that day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Spring Cottage and put the wrong fuel in her diesel rugged Isuzu Amigo rental in error. She was somewhat agitated apparently, saying "I cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure spot and, since it was just a few minutes off from the office, we could reach her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at.

Out of fuel in Spring Cottage (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a complete Leicestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to refill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at home. Our techs can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They can also deal with the standard troubles which may go with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances quite simply.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DE12 Postcode - Spring Cottage Misfueling

What a quality night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a warm Wednesday and we were on the way to assist an elder sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel burgundy red Fiat Panda in Spring Cottage. I'd been informed she had driven away from the petrol station and broken down on a rural road along the way to see her family. I popped the location straight into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour. I turned up at the destination and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel because I'd only just acquired it a few days back because my previous one, which I owned for over 25 years, inevitably died on me". I got the job done and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. What a pleasant Leicestershire lady!

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.
