It was around 10 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's sports rankings, ready for the next fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we got the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Horsebridge and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel brother's Mercedes-Benz CL-Class rental. She was pretty affected it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure position and, since it was just a few miles away from the office, we could get to the customer almost instantly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations pretty simply.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

When she contacted us we tried to cool her as best we could, telling her that it would be okay.

Wrong Fuel Assist Horsebridge - Wrong Fuel in Car Horsebridge

I had a wonderful day cycling on my off day and was feeling cheerful the following working day as I set off to help a new couple who were holidaying in Horsebridge. They broken down after putting the wrong fuel into their compact Cadillac SRX, and were close to half an hour's drive away. I showed up at their location and laughed while I heard to the woman telling her spouse off for being so daft. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to tell her that this situation comes to pass quite frequently in Shropshire and that it is nothing to be anxious about, and yet he still got his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. At any rate, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the proper fuel. Watching them drive off I waved good-bye and thought about what her indoors would tell me in the event that I did the same thing... I would never 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.
