It was around 9 pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were seated talking over the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the 8th job to come in. Before long we received the call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Overslade and put the wrong fuel in a diesel Ferarri red Range Rover Sport rental car in error. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to get the car into a protected space and, as it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could get to the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home contented and much less stressed. A fuel drain in Warwickshire done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will likely cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances quite expediently.

Remember however that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CV22 Postcode - Overslade Misfueling

What a fantastic night's sleep! 7:30 on a warm Saturday and we were en route to help an older sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel modified Alfa Romeo Spider in Overslade. I'd been informed she had left the filling station and was broken down along a backwater lane on the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location punched in the Satnav and was with her within an hour or so. I reached the destination and drained the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was working she said to me, "I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle needing diesel because I'd only just purchased it a couple of days back because my other car, which I'd owned for about thirty years, finally stopped working". I completed the drain and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a precious Warwickshire lady!

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.
