It was just before 10 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated talking over the weekend's tennis, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Howsen and put petrol in her diesel rust red VW Passat hire car. She was quite troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to move the car into a protected area and, because it was only a short distance away from our van, we were able to find the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and not so anxious. Another misfuel correction in Worcestershire done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to handle in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is likely to result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances quite swiftly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Howsen - Wrong Fuel in Car Howsen

A gentleman called us from his residence on a street in Howsen. He pronounced, "My car (a metallic green MINI Countryman) is not starting up and is producing awful noises when I turn the ignition." He confessed that he had put petrol in his diesel car but then believed he would fix the problem by putting more Diesel on top. We showed up quickly, carried out the drain and filled him up once again with untainted Diesel. He said he'd be sure to advise people not to fill up on top of the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out promptly.

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.
