It was just before seven pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were relaxing talking about the weekend's tennis, ready for the next telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Woodend and put petrol in a diesel navy blue Volkswagen Eos hire car. The unfortunate lady was quite distressed it seemed, crying "I can not believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure space and, since it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off contented and much less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Northamptonshire done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious issue to address in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases quite quickly.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Woodend - Wrong Fuel in Car Woodend

I had a wonderful day fishing during my day off and was feeling satisfied the following working day as I set off to help a young couple who were vacationing in Woodend. They conked out after putting the wrong fuel into their father's Peugeot 106, and were about an hour away. I emerged at their position and laughed while I listened to the woman telling her husband off for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this situation happens on a regular basis in Northamptonshire and that it is nothing at all to fret about, but he yet still had an earful. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I shouted bon voyage and thought about what my missus would ask me if ever I made the same mistake... I'd 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 VAT 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.
