It was just after 10 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry day, it had not stopped raining! James and I were resting talking over the recent golf rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol station in Barton-le-Clay and put the wrong fuel in her diesel dirty red Mercedes-Benz CL-Class hire car by mistake. The poor thing was quite irritated it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe area and, as it was only a few miles off from the office, we could reach her without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less stressed. One more job in Bedfordshire done well in my opinion!

Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at pump price) and fill up your vehicle. They will fix the standard problems that may come with running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel can result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases quite expediently.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

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.
