It was around 9 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were resting there talking over the weekend's football rankings, waiting around for the next fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Shell filling station in Hom Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel precious Isuzu Ascender rental car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather distressed it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from us, we could reach the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home satisfied and a lot less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Herefordshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can easily produce idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances very easily.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hom Green - Wrong Fuel in Car Hom Green

I'd had a terrific afternoon cycling on the weekend and felt contented the next day as I was en route to help a new family vacationing in Hom Green. They'd stopped after adding the wrong fuel in their son's BMW 330, and were roughly an hour's travel away. I arrived at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the wife berating her husband for being so confused. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I tried to explain that this takes place quite frequently in Herefordshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to be anxious about, nonetheless he all the same had an earful by his missus. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the correct fuel. As they drove down the road I waved farewell and thought about what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the exact same mistake... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

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.
