It was about 5 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and me were sitting there discussing the footy, prepared for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling station in Ternhill and put petrol in a diesel creamy white Renault lease car by mistake. She was rather irritated it seemed, crying "I can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing that it was only a short distance from us, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was staying in.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is generally an important situation to take care of in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will often bring about idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases fairly quickly.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Just had a quality night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Tuesday and we were off to assist an older lovely lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel spotless Honda CR-V in Ternhill. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and broken down on a rural lane en route to see her godchildren. I popped her location in the TomTom and was on-scene within an hour or so. I reached the location and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was working she explained, "I have been getting relatively forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car taking diesel because I'd only just purchased it a couple of days ago right after my former one, which I had for over twenty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the drain done and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a lovely Shropshire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Ternhill - Wrong Fuel in Car Ternhill

I'd had a terrific day hiking during my off day and felt satisfied with myself the following working day as I was en route to help a young family on holiday in Ternhill. They stopped after filling diesel in their dirty red Peugeot 407, and were close to an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and smiled while I heard to the wife chastising her spouse for being so stupid. "Just how could you possibly find a way to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this problem takes place constantly in Shropshire and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, but he all the same had an earful by his better half. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyhow, I drained all the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some correct fuel. While watching them drive away I mouthed farewell and pondered on what her indoors would do to me if ever I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
