It was about 10 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were relaxing there going over the golf results, waiting for the 6th call that day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Woodcote and put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic yellow Mercedes Sprinter lease car in error. She was pretty affected by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, and that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to move the car into a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes off from the office, we were able to reach the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Surrey done well in my opinion!

Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Out of fuel in Woodcote (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a comprehensive Surrey Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your vehicle any time you are stranded on the motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our engineers can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump price) and fill your car. They can also handle the normal troubles which can come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle failing to start, as well as flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel will produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases pretty expediently.

Be aware though that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

The driver of a partner's Dodge Challenger was sorry that he had put unleaded in his diesel car when he got onto the street and it spluttered and ground to a halt.

To be truthful, when he initially phoned us he said he'd check around, but he phoned us back shortly because our pricing and on-scene times were the best. Naturally, our engineer had him again performing his deliveries within the period we had estimated.

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.
