It was close to seven pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing talking over the recent rugby, waiting around for the seventh call that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Whitnell and filled petrol in a diesel grass green Ford Focus hire car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure position and, since it was just a short distance away from the office, we were able to find the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could return to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away relaxed and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances very swiftly.
Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

This was certainly the night shift. It was around 3:30am and noone was about. It had become fairly dead thus far, and Brian and I were relaxing perusing a couple of old newspapers. That was an unusual calm hour in Somerset. Actually it was so peaceful that the moment the phone inevitably rang it made me start! The person on the other end explained: "I have only just ended my evening shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in the deep grey Suzuki Grand Vitara in error". We instructed him to inform us just where the vehicle was situated and we left, arriving in Whitnell not as much as half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned from the car and he thanked us for showing up so promptly. While we were coming back to base we spotted two ladies on the side of the street who seemed to have a flat. Obviously we got out to help them change it, to their delight.

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.
