It was close to 6 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Brian and me were relaxing there commenting on the recent tennis rankings, ready for the seventh job that day to come in. Inevitably we had the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Lower Raydon and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel maroon Toyota Land Cruiser hire car. The poor thing was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected space and, because it was only a few miles off from where we were, we could arrive at the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away contented and not so worried. Another job in Suffolk well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to handle in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can easily cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations quite easily.

Remember that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Lower Raydon - Wrong Fuel in Car Lower Raydon

I'd had a wonderful afternoon cycling during the weekend and felt contented with myself the following day as I set off to assist a young couple who were vacationing in Lower Raydon. They broken down after filling petrol in their mint condition Saab 9-2X, and were roughly an hour's travel away. I emerged at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the woman telling her husband off for actually being so stupid. "How could you conceivably manage to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on quite frequently in Suffolk and that it is nothing at all to stress about, and yet he still got an earful. Unlucky chap. Anyhow, I removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove off I shouted hasta la vista and wondered what her indoors would ask me if I did the same thing... I would personally never ever live it down!

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.
