It was after 9 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry day, it had not given up on raining! Brian and I were sitting going over the weekend's footy, waiting around for the 6th job of the day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Woodmansey and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel expensive Audi hire car by mistake. She was somewhat affected it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things sadly often happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a protected area and, seeing that it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to reach her fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away calm and a lot less anxious. Another job in East Riding of Yorkshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Woodmansey (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a full East Riding of Yorkshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily come to re-fill your car in the event that you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our techs can come out to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your car. They can also fix any of the typical issues that may come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, or even flat batteries as a result of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is likely to contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations rather simply.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Woodmansey

We carried out a wrong fuel removal exercise outside a lovely house in Woodmansey a few weeks ago. "I had put petrol in my diesel car and managed to nearly arrive at home when my car cut out." Our specialist went out, regardless that it was quite late at night, and performed a thorough fuel drain and cleanse on the buff Mercedes-Benz S-Class .

Wrong Fuel Doctor Woodmansey - Fuel Rescue Woodmansey

This was exactly what we call the night shift. It was around dawn and almost noone was about. It had become fairly uneventful thus far, and Ryan and I were sitting around browsing a couple of old magazines. This was an uncommon calm time in East Riding of Yorkshire. Actually it was that calm that the moment the phone rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist on the opposite end told me: "I've only just ended my night shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel mom's Jeep Wrangler by mistake". We instructed him to let us know just where the vehicle was located and we left, arriving in Woodmansey 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the motor and he said thank you for coming out so promptly. While we were returning to the depot we spotted two young ladies on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat. As a result we pulled over and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
