Contaminated fuel Littleton? We have the capacity to service the Littleton community rather well since one of our engineers resides not far away and is close to the action.

We're merely a phone call away.
It was just after 10 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were seated commenting on the recent football results, waiting for the next fuel drain to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Littleton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel green Chevrolet Silverado hire car. She was rather irritated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, and that such things do happen. She had managed to move the car to a safe area and, as it was only a short distance from the office, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive off calm and not so stressed. Another job in Surrey well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in the fuel can easily produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both cases quite swiftly.
You should know that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

They are also able to take care of any of the common troubles which could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or maybe flat batteries due to over-cranking.
Wrong Fuel in Car in TW17 Postcode - Littleton Misfueling
What a good night of sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Tuesday and I was en route to assist an older lovely lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel elegant Audi V8 in Littleton. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and pulled up in a rural lane en route to see her godchildren. I popped her location in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour. I got to the car and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was working she said, "I am becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had only just bought it a week ago after my old one, which I owned for about 25 years, eventually stopped working". I finished the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a delightful Surrey lady!

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:
- 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.
- Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded.

- 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.
