It was just before 5 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were seated going over the tennis, ready for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Blackwater and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dark green BMW 3 Series rental in error. The poor lady was very distressed apparently, saying "I still can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was only a short distance from us, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in Somerset well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can easily trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases pretty easily.
Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

A woman had stopped on a street, Blackwater just after having misfueled. She was in tears and very agitated as she had put £40 of petrol in her diesel car. When she contacted us we made an effort to cool her as well as we could, encouraging her that all would be fine.

We a few weeks ago got a phone call from a driver who had put the wrong fuel in his khaki green Fiat Nuova 500 in Blackwater. He had ground to a halt on the road. "I was amazed at how quick you guys were in getting an engineer out to assist me after I mistakenly filled my car with the wrong fuel. I'm very grateful". It goes without saying that we appeared promptly and purged the engine after draining all the unleaded from the diesel tank. The customer was over the moon by the time we were done and he was able to drive away happy.
Wrong Fuel Doctor Blackwater - Fuel Rescue Blackwater
A young lady working in Blackwater called us shortly after she tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to the office. She had filled unleaded in her diesel trusty Peugeot 3008 and, like many people before her, assumed that she could simply fill up her vehicle with diesel and it would run alright. The engine was spluttering and then it died when she came to the entrance of her office. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and had it repaired inside 60 minutes while she was in the office. She came out soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm really relieved you sorted my vehicle."

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:
- 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 VA 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.
