It was about 7 pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there discussing the recent football results, waiting around for the next call that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Roundshaw and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel mint condition Mercedes SL-Class hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty affected apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home relaxed and much less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Sutton done well in my mind!

Petrol in your diesel car in Roundshaw? You've come to the right place. We are here to aid you in this hour of need and get you moving once again with our specialist wrong fuel removal services.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel can certainly cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases very swiftly.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SM6 Postcode - Roundshaw Misfueling

A customer had broken down on a road, Roundshaw just after having misfueled. She was in tears and quite agitated as she had put £60 of petrol in her diesel car. When she phoned us we tried to cool her as best we could, assuring her that all would be okay.

Wrong Fuel Assist Roundshaw - Wrong Fuel in Car Roundshaw

I enjoyed a terrific day golfing on my off day and was feeling delighted with myself the next morning as I headed out to assist a young couple on holiday in Roundshaw. They had pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their old Ford Transit Connect, and they were roughly an hour away. I arrived at their location and laughed as I heard to the girl chastising her hubby for turning out to be so stupid. "How could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing occurs on daily basis in Sutton and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, even so he yet still had an ear bashing by his wife. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I drained out the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I mouthed good bye and thought about what my missus would say to me if I made the same error... 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.
