It was about eight pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were relaxing going over the weekend's golf rankings, ready for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Before long we received a call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Greenfield and put petrol in her diesel apricot Renault Twingo lease car by mistake. She was quite agitated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things can happen. She managed to move the car into a secure position and, as it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to find her quickly.

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will often cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases quite expediently.

Remember that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel.

I had a terrific evening golfing during the weekend and felt contented with myself the following working day as I was en route to help a new family holidaying in Greenfield. They conked out after filling the wrong fuel into their blue Suzuki Reno, and the car was about an hour's drive away. I got there at their position and laughed while I heard to the girl telling her man off for being so foolish. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to clarify that this goes on frequently in Oxfordshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to worry about, nonetheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing. I felt sorry for the lad. Anyhow, I cleaned up and removed the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some proper fuel. While they drove off I mouthed good-bye and considered what my missus would do to me in the event that I did the exact same thing... I would personally never live it down!

This really was the night shift. It was close to dawn and noone was about. It had been quite uneventful so far, and Paul and I were sitting about perusing some old papers. This was an unusual restful moment in Oxfordshire. Actually it was in fact so peaceful that when my mobile eventually rang I jumped with surprise! The customer said: "I only just ended my night shift and foolishly put petrol in a diesel dark green Seat Toledo by mistake". I instructed him to inform us where exactly the car was located and we set off, reaching him in Greenfield not as much as an hour later. The wrong fuel was taken out from the car and he said thanks a lot for coming so fast. While we were heading back to base we saw two ladies at the side of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we pulled up to change it, much to their delight.
