It was just before 6 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased pouring! Dan and me were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's football results, at the ready for the next job to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Stoke-on-Trent and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Ferarri red Honda Prelude hire car by mistake. She was pretty distressed apparently, saying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, as it was no more than a short distance from us, we were able to find the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. Yet another job in Staffordshire done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel may trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases very simply.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Stoke-on-Trent - Wrong Fuel in Car Stoke-on-Trent

I enjoyed a perfect afternoon cycling during my afternoon off and was feeling delighted the next morning as I was on the way to assist a young family holidaying in Stoke-on-Trent. They had pulled over after adding diesel in their luxury Volkswagen Golf III, and were close to half an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smirked while I listened to the wife telling her spouse off for actually being so silly. "Just how could you conceivably find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this comes to pass all the time in Staffordshire and that it's absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he all the same had an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyway, I removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the appropriate fuel.

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.
