It was around six pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and I were relaxing discussing the rugby, waiting for the 6th call that day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Helpringham and filled petrol in a diesel metallic silver Volkswagen Scirocco rental car in error. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately can happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to address in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will likely lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases rather easily.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Helpringham - Wrong Fuel in Car Helpringham

I appreciated a wonderful afternoon cycling on the weekend and felt contented the following morning as I set off to aid a new family vacationing in Helpringham. They had broken down after inserting the wrong fuel into their father's Mitsubishi Montero, and they were about an hour away. I got there at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the gal telling off her partner for actually being so silly. "Just how could you even manage to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this comes to pass quite frequently in Lincolnshire and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, however he all the same had an earful. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive off I waved bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would tell me if I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances 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.
