It was about 8 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated there going over the footy results, at the ready for the 6th job to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Chipping Norton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel beautiful Audi V8 hire car. The unfortunate lady was rather affected apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, because it was only a short distance from where we were, we could arrive at the woman swiftly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Oxfordshire done well in my books!

Out of fuel in Chipping Norton (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a comprehensive Oxfordshire Out of Fuel Service. We are able to help to re-fill your automobile any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or just at home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (acquired at pump prices) and fill your vehicle. They will be able to fix any of the typical problems which might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to start, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to handle in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may well produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances very swiftly.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

• 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.
