It was around ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were seated talking about the weekend's sports results, waiting for the sixth telephone call to arrive. In due time we had the call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Upton and put petrol in her diesel husband's Dodge Sprinter lease car in error. The poor thing was fairly distressed apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure spot and, since it was only a few miles from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could get back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away satisfied and not so stressed. One more job in Northamptonshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to deal with in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can potentially trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations pretty simply.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NN5 Postcode - Upton Misfueling

Just had a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Monday and I was on my way to assist an older sweetheart who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel cream Skoda Fabia in Upton. I'd been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down on a backwater road on route to see her grandchildren. I got the location plugged in the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour or so. I reached the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing the drain she told me, "I am getting quite absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel because I had just got it a short while ago right after my old car, which I had for over twenty years, finally gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she gifted me a peppermint and said thank you. What a lovely Northamptonshire lady!

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.

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.
