It was before six pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were relaxing there commenting on the footy, at the ready for the 6th job for the day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Bessels Leigh and put petrol in a diesel friend's Smart Fortwo hire car in error. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from our van, we were able to get to the woman almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained so she could get back to the hotel she was living in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. Another fuel drain in Oxfordshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Out of Fuel Support

Run out of fuel in Bessels Leigh (out of gas - as an American would say)? We perform a comprehensive Oxfordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We're able to come to fill up the car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere, or possibly even at home. Our technicians can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (purchased at cost) and fill your automobile. They will be able to deal with any of the normal issues that might go along with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle failing to restart, and even flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to address in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel is going to contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances rather easily.

Take note that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Just had a fantastic night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a gloomy Wednesday and I was on my way to assist an elder lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel new Kia Rio in Bessels Leigh. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and stranded in a rural road along the way to pay a visit to her family. I got her location plugged in the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour. I reached the destination and extracted the wrong fuel in the car car. As I was working she explained, "I'm becoming quite forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel seeing that I'd just bought it a couple of days back right after my previous car, which I used for in excess of twenty five years, eventually broke down". I got the job completed and she gave me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a delightful Oxfordshire lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Bessels Leigh

A young person who had only recently passed his driving test had misfueled his aunt's BMW Z4 by putting petrol in his diesel at the service station near Bessels Leigh. He said, "This is the second occasion I have put fuel in my car from the time when I got it and I have no clue of what to do." He was anxious as his step father had only just bought him the car.

This was certainly an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about dawn and noone was stirring. It was fairly quiet thus far, and Ryan and I were sitting about looking at a couple of old articles. This was an uncommon calm time in Oxfordshire. It was so peaceful that the instant my mobile inevitably rang I jumped! The customer explained: "I have only just finished my evening shift and foolishly poured petrol in my mate's VW Passat in error". I asked him to tell us where he was and we headed out, arriving in Bessels Leigh not as much as 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the car. He said thank you for coming so quickly. While we were coming back to the office we spotted two girls at the side of the street who looked like they suffered a puncture. Accordingly we stopped to change it, much to their elation.

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.
