Wrong Fuel in Car Windsor, Berkshire

It was close to six pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing there going over the weekend's sports results, ready for the seventh job for the day to come in. In due time we received a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Windsor and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel modern Austin Mini Cooper S rental car. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and that these things often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and a lot less worried. Yet another job in Berkshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to address in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases quite swiftly.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

We fairly recently received a phone call from a young man who put the wrong fuel in his stylish Isuzu Ascender in Windsor. He had ground to a halt on the street. "After putting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't recognise the dilemma until it stopped working. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and got it working again. I was happy as a result of both your call-out time and your charges". Needless to say we appeared punctually and flushed the engine after draining all of the wrong fuel from the diesel tank. When he arrived our fuel drainer said the motorist was fuming, but was grinning his face off after the fuel drain.

A lady from Windsor with her kids in her diesel aunt's Volkswagen Passat had filled her vehicle with £30 of petrol at the Sainsburys filling station. She contacted us weeping and extremely upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel previously and did not know what would happen to her car . We assured her that all would be ok and that she would be ready to go in no time at all. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but as our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she noticed that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She quickly brightened up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting petrol in my diesel vehicle! Especially with the children in the back."

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.
