It was about 7 pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were sitting there going over the recent golf, waiting for the next call to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling garage in Shellingford and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic grey Volkswagen Tiguan lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty affected it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things can happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we could arrive at her quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away contented and not so apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Oxfordshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to handle in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will likely lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases quite quickly.
Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

A lady from Shellingford with a full car of youngsters in her diesel company's Porsche Boxster had filled her car with £45 of petrol at the Shell filling station.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
