It was just before 8 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated there discussing the tennis results, waiting around for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we got a call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in East Rounton and filled petrol in her diesel mom's Mercedes SLK55 AMG rental car in error. The poor thing was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we could reach her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the motel she was staying at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home contented and much less stressed. Another fuel drain in North Yorkshire done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may well lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases pretty easily.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DL6 Postcode - East Rounton Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday and we were en route to help an elder sweetheart after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel daughter's Dodge Ram in East Rounton. I had been informed she drove away from the filling station forecourt and broken down along a backwater lane en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location punched into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour. I got to the car and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said, "I'm getting fairly absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel since I'd only just purchased it a short while back when my previous one, which I used for about thirty years, finally stopped working". I got the drain done and she gifted me a toffee and said thank you. What a precious North Yorkshire woman!

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.
