It was around five pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were sitting there going over the recent tennis results, waiting for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Higher Chalmington and put the wrong fuel in her diesel winter grey Range Rover Classic lease car in error. The poor thing was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe position and, since it was just a short distance away from us, we could get to the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. A job in Dorset done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank may well bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations very swiftly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car in DT2 Postcode - Higher Chalmington Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a bright Wednesday and I was on my way to help an elder woman after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel husband's Mercedes R-Class in Higher Chalmington. She told us that she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up in a backwater lane en route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour. I turned up at the location and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I am becoming somewhat forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I had just acquired it several days back after my previous car, which I'd had for over 30 years, finally stopped working". I completed the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a precious Dorset lady!

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 VA 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.
