It was just after ten pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and I were seated there discussing the weekend's footy, at the ready for the next call to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Kibbear and filled petrol in her diesel cyan Citron DS3 rental car. She was somewhat irritated apparently, crying "I can not believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, since it was no more than a few miles from our van, we were able to find the woman without delay. The bad fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in Somerset done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to address in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can easily lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases pretty expediently.

You should know however that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Kibbear - Wrong Fuel in Car Kibbear

I had enjoyed a great evening hiking on my holiday and was feeling delighted the next day as I headed out to assist a young family holidaying in Kibbear. They stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their Ferarri red Lexus LFA, and were approximately an hour away. I got there at their position and laughed to myself as I listened to the lady telling her hubby off for being so foolish. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this goes on everyday in Somerset and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, and yet he in spite of everything got an earful by his missus. Poor chap. Anyways, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some correct fuel. Watching as they drove down the road I waved so long and wondered what her indoors would tell me if I did the same thing... I would personally never 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 VA 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.
