It was just after 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were resting talking over the recent rugby rankings, waiting around for the 6th call to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Mayes Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel new Audi A5 hire car in error. She was quite troubled apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from our van, we could arrive at the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Surrey done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases quite quickly.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in RH5 Postcode - Mayes Green Misfueling

Just had a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a sunny Tuesday and we were on the way to help an elder lady who had put petrol in her diesel silver Suzuki Reno in Mayes Green. I'd been informed she had driven away from the petrol station and was broken down in a rural road en route to see her godchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the Satnav and was with her within an hour or so. I reached the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel from the car. While I was working she said to me, "I am getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had only got it several days back when my other car, which I had owned for about 30 years, eventually stopped working". I got the drain done and she presented me a Murray mint and said thank you. What a lovely Surrey lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Mayes Green - Wrong Fuel in Car Mayes Green

I had enjoyed a great day cycling during my afternoon off and felt delighted the next working day as I headed out to aid a new family who were on holiday in Mayes Green. They'd pulled over after inserting diesel into their mustard yellow Mazda RX-8, and were about half an hour away. I arrived at their car and smiled as I listened to the girl telling her husband off for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this situation comes to pass on daily basis in Surrey and that it's really nothing at all to fret about, however he still got his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate chap. Anyway, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. While they drove down the road I shouted bon voyage and thought about what her indoors would say to me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd personally never 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 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.
