It was about 7 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and I were resting there talking about the rugby rankings, waiting for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Castle End and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel red Mazda B2600 lease car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly irritated apparently, stating "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected space and, as it was just a few miles away from where we were, we were able to reach the woman without delay. The bad fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home satisfied and much less apprehensive. Another job in Cambridgeshire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious situation to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel may well bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations pretty expediently.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

We've been called out to numerous private and industrial properties in Cambridgeshire for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Assist Castle End - Wrong Fuel in Car Castle End

I had a perfect evening hiking during my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the following morning as I was en route to aid a new couple who were holidaying in Castle End. They'd pulled over after filling petrol into their bright yellow Chevrolet Suburban, and the car was about half an hour away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself while I heard to the gal berating her partner for being so foolish. "Just how could you possibly be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this goes on regularly in Cambridgeshire and that it's really nothing to get worried about, even so he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his wife. Poor guy. Anyways, I removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some correct fuel. Watching as they drove away I mouthed hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would ask me if I made the same mistake... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

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.

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.
