It was around five pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's sports rankings, ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Crown Hills and filled petrol in her diesel father's BMW 760 rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty irritated apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected area and, as it was only a short distance from where we were, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and much less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Leicestershire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances quite easily.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Run Out of Fuel Support

We're able to come to re-fill your automobile if you are stranded on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at cost) to refill your automobile. They will handle any of the normal problems that could go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, as well as flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

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.
