Petrol in a diesel vehicle in Lower Wanborough? Welcome to Wrong Fuel SoS. Give us a call and find out just how we can assist you to get you on the road once again.
It was around 10 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and me were relaxing discussing the weekend's tennis, ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Lower Wanborough and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel bright red Honda Prelude rental in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, since it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could arrive at the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and much less concerned. A misfuel correction in Wiltshire well done in my books!

Boat Fuel Drains
If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.
Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to take care of in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue inside your fuel can certainly lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations rather simply.
Take note that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.
Wrong Fuel in Car in SN4 Postcode - Lower Wanborough Misfueling
A young lady had come to a stop on a road, Lower Wanborough having just wrong fueled. She was sobbing and truly troubled as she had put £50 petrol in her diesel car. As she phoned us we tried to relax her as best we could, encouraging her that it would be no problem. By the time we got to her she was no longer troubled and was rather interested in watching our fuel drainer do the fuel drain on her old Volkswagen Golf III. Later she said: "My vehicle is like my child, I only just paid for it and thus it genuinely worried me that I had put so much wrong fuel in it. I'm really pleased that it was easily repairable."

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.
