It was close to 5 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased raining! Ray and I were seated there discussing the weekend's football, waiting around for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Briggswath and put petrol in her diesel light green VW Tiguan hire car. The unfortunate thing was fairly affected it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we could get to the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and a lot less worried. One more job in North Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will often bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases very swiftly.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car in YO21 Postcode - Briggswath Misfueling

A lady had broken down on a street, Briggswath having just put the wrong fuel in her car. She was sobbing and really troubled as she had put £55 of petrol in her diesel car. When she contacted us we made an effort to calm her as well as we could, assuring her that all would be fine. When we got to her she was not distressed any more and was quite interested in observing our engineer carry out the fuel drain on her maroon Hyundai Scoupe. Afterwards she said: "My car is akin to my baby, I only just bought it and so it really freaked me out that I had put such an abundance of wrong fuel in it. I'm terribly glad that it was so very easily repairable."

Wrong Fuel Assist Briggswath - Wrong Fuel in Car Briggswath

I enjoyed a fantastic evening fishing on my afternoon off and was feeling delighted the following day as I set out to aid a new family on holiday in Briggswath. They pulled over after putting diesel into their rust red Renault Scenic, and were about half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their location and laughed while I heard to the gal berating her partner for turning out to be so confused. "Just how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I tried to explain that this goes on on daily basis in North Yorkshire and that it is nothing at all to fret about, even so he still had his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky lad. Anyhow, I drained out all of the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I mouthed farewell and considered what my missus would say to me in the event that I made the very same blunder... I would personally never ever 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.
