Wrong fuel in your car in Draycott? Welcome to Wrong Fuel SoS. Phone us and enquire exactly how we can help to get you back on the road rapidly.
It was around 8 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were sitting there going over the football results, prepared for the 8th call that day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Draycott and put the wrong fuel in her diesel dark red Audi A6 hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite agitated it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, because it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and much less worried. Another misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will often produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations rather easily.
Keep in mind however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Draycott
I am not necessarily that enthusiastic about doing work weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids after a fantastic dinner prepared by the wife, and I was off to help a gentleman after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his wife's Ford Aspire. He was located in Draycott therefore I was on scene soon. Just as I pulled up at the car and got out he said to me "Praise the Lord! I had my thoughts on something else and didn't perceive I've put diesel in my petrol car. Have I brought about some damage as a result of running it?" I revealed that generally there shouldn't be damage and that I'd personally remove the contaminated fuel quickly for him. Needless to say I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some correct fuel, and one more pleased motorist had the ability to carry on with his trip without any hassle. He could hardly stop thanking me, and that is actually what makes operating on weekends in Shropshire just that small bit easier to me!

- 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.
