It was just before 10 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's sports, waiting around for the next fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Fold Hill and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel rugged Volkswagen Golf hire car by mistake. She was pretty affected it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the car into a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we could reach the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away relaxed and less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Lincolnshire well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will likely lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations pretty expediently.

You should know though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Fold Hill - Wrong Fuel in Car Fold Hill

I'd had a terrific day hiking on my holiday and was feeling contented with myself the next day as I set out to help a new couple who were on holiday in Fold Hill. They had pulled over after inserting diesel into their Ferarri red Nissan, and were around an hour away. I arrived at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the girl telling off her spouse for being so confused. "Just how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this kind of thing comes to pass on daily basis in Lincolnshire and that it's nothing to be anxious about, however he still got his ear bent. Poor lad. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted so long and wondered what her indoors would tell me if I made the very same mistake... I would personally never 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 VA 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.
