It was close to 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated talking over the recent football results, waiting for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Old and put petrol in a diesel well worn Jeep Grand Cherokee hire car in error. The poor lady was pretty agitated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing that it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off calm and a lot less apprehensive. One more job in Northamptonshire well done in my mind!

Out of Fuel Assistance

Run out of fuel in Old (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We run a comprehensive Northamptonshire Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your automobile in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come to you with 10-20 litres of fuel (bought at pump prices) to fill your car. They can also fix any of the most common issues which may accompany running out of fuel - like airlocks, vehicle not starting, or even flat batteries resulting from over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to address in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel will produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations very swiftly.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Old - Wrong Fuel in Car Old

I had enjoyed a perfect afternoon cycling on my day off and was feeling cheerful with myself the following working day as I headed out to assist a young couple on vacation in Old. They broken down after inserting the wrong fuel into their matte black Mercedes Sprinter, and the car was roughly an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and smirked as I listened to the girl telling off her hubby for actually being so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing occurs continuously in Northamptonshire and that it's nothing to worry about, even so he yet still got an earful. Unlucky boy. Anyhow, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. As they drove off I shouted so long and thought about what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I would personally under no circumstances 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.
