It was about five pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were relaxing commenting on the weekend's footy rankings, ready for the 8th job to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in The Woodlands and put petrol in a diesel boss' MINI Cooper Countryman lease car by mistake. She was pretty irritated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and a lot less anxious. One more fuel drain in Leicestershire done well in my mind!

Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in The Woodlands (out of gas - as an American would say)? We operate a comprehensive Leicestershire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily help to refill the car in the event that you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to refill your car or truck. They will be able to fix the standard problems which may go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or maybe flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances rather swiftly.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

A man phoned us from his house on a street in The Woodlands. He pronounced, "My vehicle (a company's Nissan Cube) is not running and is creating terrible sounds when I flip the key." He admitted that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle but then imagined he would solve the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, carried out the drain and filled him up again with clean Diesel. He said he'd be absolutely sure to advise people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to have it drained promptly.

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.
