It was after 10 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting going over the recent sports results, at the ready for the 6th call to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Westerton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel khaki green Dodge Ram rental in error. The poor lady was fairly affected apparently, crying "I can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things do happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe space and, since it was just a few minutes away from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in West Sussex well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to take care of in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases quite easily.
Be aware though that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be totally wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Westerton
We a few weeks ago had a phone call from a young man who had put the wrong fuel in his mint green Audi Allroad in Westerton. He had broken down on the road. "After putting petrol in my diesel car I didn't discover the quandary till the time we broke down. You cleared the wrong fuel from my car and had it functioning . I was pleased with both your speed and your pricing". Naturally we were on-scene promptly and purged the engine after draining all of the unleaded from the diesel tank.

This really was the graveyard shift. It was around 3am and nobody was around. It was quite quiet until now, and me and Ray were relaxing looking at several old magazines. It was a rare restful time in West Sussex. Actually it was indeed so calm that the instant the phone finally rang it made me start! The person stated: "I just concluded my night shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel expensive Audi S4". We instructed him to let us know where exactly he was and we set off, reaching him in Westerton no more than an hour or so later. The fuel was cleared from the motor and he said many thanks for showing up so promptly. As we were returning to the office we saw two young ladies on the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. As a result we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
