It was before five pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated there commenting on the weekend's footy, waiting around for the seventh telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Rodbourne and put the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic green Peugeot 3008 hire car. She was very troubled it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this do happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, since it was just a short distance off from our van, we were able to arrive at her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away satisfied and much less anxious. A misfuel correction in Wiltshire done well in my opinion!

Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) and refill the car. They can also fix the common problems which might accompany running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can easily lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances rather easily.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Rodbourne - Wrong Fuel in Car Rodbourne

I had enjoyed a wonderful afternoon cycling during my afternoon off and was feeling pleased with myself the following day as I set off to aid a new family who were vacationing in Rodbourne. They had stopped after filling diesel in their creamy white Mitsubishi 3000GT, and they were around an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and laughed to myself as I listened to the girl telling her husband off for turning out to be so foolish. "How could you conceivably be able to fill up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing comes to pass on daily basis in Wiltshire and that it's actually nothing at all to get worried about, and yet he all the same had an ear bashing. Poor guy. Anyway, I extracted the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some right fuel. Watching as they drove off I mouthed bon voyage and pondered on what her indoors would ask me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
