It was just after 9 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing going over the recent football results, waiting around for the seventh call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Kilton Thorpe and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel racing green Suzuki Reno rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat affected it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things unfortunately often happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel will likely produce idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TS12 Postcode - Kilton Thorpe Misfueling

Just had a great night of sleep! 7:00 on a sunny Saturday and I was on the way to help an elder lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel son's VW Jetta in Kilton Thorpe. I had been informed she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down in a country road on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I punched the location straight into the Satnav and arrived within an hour or so. I reached the car and drained the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing it she said, "Now I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel seeing that I'd only bought it a couple of days ago after my other one, which I owned for about 25 years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the drain completed and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a lovely North Yorkshire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Kilton Thorpe - Wrong Fuel in Car Kilton Thorpe

I appreciated a perfect day hiking during the weekend and was feeling contented the next working day as I set out to assist a young couple on holiday in Kilton Thorpe. They'd conked out after inserting petrol in their metallic grey Alfa Romeo164, and they were around half an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the wife chastising her man for turning out to be so stupid. "Exactly how could you even manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I tried to tell her that this occurs frequently in North Yorkshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to stress about, and yet he still had an ear bashing. Unlucky chap. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would tell me if I made the same blunder... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

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.
