It was before 9 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were relaxing there discussing the golf results, waiting around for the next call of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Little Lyth and put petrol in a diesel modified Porsche Cayenne rental car. The unfortunate lady was quite irritated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the car into a safe space and, as it was just a short distance away from us, we could reach the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and much less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Shropshire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

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

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances quite swiftly.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SY3 Postcode - Little Lyth Misfueling

Just had a good night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a warm Tuesday and I was en route to help an elder sweetheart after she put petrol in her diesel partner's BMW 645 in Little Lyth. I had been told she had left the filling station and stranded along a country road en route to visit her family. I plugged her location straight into the TomTom and arrived within an hour. I arrived at the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle. While I was doing it she explained, "I have been becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel because I'd only purchased it a short while ago because my other one, which I used for more than 25 years, eventually died". I completed the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a pleasant Shropshire woman!

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.
