It was just before 7 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Paul and me were seated going over the footy results, at the ready for the 8th call that day to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Fittleton and filled petrol in a diesel deep grey Jeep Grand Cherokee lease car by mistake. She was fairly irritated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe spot and, since it was only a few miles off from the office, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got very drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and less concerned. One more fuel drain in Wiltshire done well in my books!

Run Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Fittleton (out of gas - as our American cousins would say)? We run a full Wiltshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can come to fill up the car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They are also able to take care of any of the usual troubles which might go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank may contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations quite simply.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SP4 Postcode - Fittleton Misfueling

A relatively alarmed driver phoned us from the Shell filling station at Wiltshire to advise us that he put unleaded into his diesel teal Suzuki Kizashi; he wasn't totally certain how he'd managed to do it. We said to him it was absolutely no concern and soon had our man with him to clear the contaminated fuel from his car. Having taken away the contaminated fuel, he was subsequently back behind the wheel. He told us; "I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my car. And the person who came out to carry out the fuel drain was especially very good - he didn't make me appear like a fool."

We hold complete Environment Agency compliance and Insurance for your reassurance. On top of that, our experts are completely qualified and expert in handling the majority of makes.

Wrong Fuel Assist Fittleton - Wrong Fuel in Car Fittleton

I'd had a perfect evening golfing during my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the next day as I set out to help a young family who were holidaying in Fittleton. They broken down after inserting the wrong fuel into their customised Honda Accord, and the car was close to half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smiled while I listened to the girl telling her husband off for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you actually be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing goes on frequently in Wiltshire and that it's nothing to stress about, but he all the same got an earful by his missus. Poor lad. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I mouthed bon voyage and considered what my missus would tell me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would never 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.
