It was around seven pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were resting there talking over the weekend's rugby, waiting for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we got the call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Baddeley Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic silver Volkswagen Tiguan hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was rather irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things sadly happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was just a short distance off from where we were, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and less worried. Another job in Staffordshire done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important condition to handle in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank will often trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases fairly swiftly.

Take note though that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Baddeley Green - Wrong Fuel in Car Baddeley Green

I had a wonderful afternoon cycling on my off day and was feeling cheerful the next morning as I headed out to help a young couple who were holidaying in Baddeley Green. They'd pulled over after putting diesel in their sky blue Subaru Legacy, and the car was approximately an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself while I heard to the girl telling her man off for actually being so silly. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I attempted to clarify that this situation occurs constantly in Staffordshire and that it is nothing to fret about, however he still had his ear bent by his missus. Unlucky boy. Anyway, I extracted all the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. As they drove away I shouted goodbye and considered what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd never ever 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.
