It was just before 6 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were relaxing talking over the weekend's football results, waiting for the next job of the day to come in. Finally we had a call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Kingsland and put petrol in her diesel bright red VW Touareg rental. She was very affected it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure space and, as it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could get to the woman quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was living at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

We're able to get out to re-fill your vehicle any time you are stuck on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or just at home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) to fill the car. They will deal with any of the normal issues which could go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , as well as flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may lead to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations quite quickly.

You should know that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Just had a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday and I was on my way to assist an elder woman after she put petrol in her diesel dark green Citron Zara in Kingsland. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station and broken down in a country road along the way to see her family. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and got there in less than 60 minutes. I got to the location and removed the contaminated fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "I'm getting rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel seeing that I'd only bought it a couple of days back right after my previous one, which I owned for more than 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a lovely Shropshire 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.

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.
