It was just after ten pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Paul and me were relaxing talking over the recent football, waiting around for the 8th telephone call of the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Burton Bradstock and put the wrong fuel in a diesel silver Volkswagen Tiguan lease car in error. The poor thing was rather agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we were able to get to the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home satisfied and much less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Dorset done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is likely to cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases very quickly.
Keep in mind that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DT6 Postcode - Burton Bradstock Misfueling
Just had a quality night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a gloomy Sunday and I was off to assist an old woman after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel mint condition Ford Transit in Burton Bradstock. She informed us that she had left the filling station and pulled up on a rural lane along the way to see her grandchildren. I plugged the location in the Satnav and got there inside an hour. I arrived at the destination and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing the work she told me, "I am becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel as I had only got it a few days ago when my other one, which I had owned for in excess of thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a precious Dorset lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Burton Bradstock - Wrong Fuel in Car Burton Bradstock
I'd had a wonderful evening golfing on my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a young family vacationing in Burton Bradstock. They had stopped after putting diesel into their canary yellow Audi, and the car was around half an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the gal chastising her husband for actually being so daft. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I attempted to tell her that this occurs all the time in Dorset and that it's really nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he in spite of everything had an earful. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I drained out all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. Watching them drive off I waved hasta la vista and considered what her indoors would ask me in the event that I made the same error... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

We fairly recently received a phone call about a young man who had put the incorrect fuel in his sky blue BMW X6 in Burton Bradstock. He had ground to a halt on the road. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't discover the dilemma before we conked out. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and had it working again. I was happy with both how swift you were and your rates". Of course we arrived punctually and flushed the engine after flushing all the petrol from the diesel tank. The client was smiling again by the time we were done and he went away completely satisfied.

This was exactly an unsociable hour to be awake. It was close to sunrise and nobody was around. It had been pretty dead until now, and Mark and I were sitting around looking at some old magazines. It was an uncommon restful time in Dorset. It was in fact that calm that the moment my mobile ultimately rang it made me start! The customer explained: "I've just completed my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in the mustard yellow Hyundai Tiburon by mistake". We got him to inform us where exactly he was situated and we headed out, arriving in Burton Bradstock only half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He said thank you for arriving so fast. As we were going back home we spotted two girls at the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat tyre. So we stopped to change it, to their elation.

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:
- 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.
- 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 VA receipt.
- 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.
- 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.
