It was after 8 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! James and I were sitting talking over the recent footy rankings, at the ready for the next fuel drain to come in. Before long we got the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Whitcott Keysett and filled petrol in her diesel bright white BMW Z4 rental by mistake. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected spot and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to her without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off contented and much less concerned. Another job in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to address in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can potentially result in idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations pretty quickly.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Whitcott Keysett - Wrong Fuel in Car Whitcott Keysett

I had appreciated a wonderful afternoon hiking during my holiday and was feeling satisfied the next working day as I set off to help a new couple away in Whitcott Keysett. They stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their sunflower yellow Audi TT, and were roughly an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and smirked as I heard to the wife telling off her husband for actually being so confused. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this happens continuously in Shropshire and that it's nothing to be anxious about, even so he yet still had an ear bashing. Poor lad. Anyhow, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. As they drove down the road I mouthed farewell and considered what her indoors would do to me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd never ever live it down!

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.
