It was before 8 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there talking about the recent football results, prepared for the 8th job of the day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Longville in the Dale and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel creamy white Audi A8 hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very troubled it seemed, crying "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, and that things like this sadly happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe space and, because it was only a short distance from our van, we could reach her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could get back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and not so anxious. One more job in Shropshire done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank may well result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations very swiftly.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

I plugged the location straight into the TomTom and was with her in less than an hour. I arrived at the location and drained the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was doing the work she told me, "I have been becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel since I'd just purchased it a few days back when my former one, which I used for more than 25 years, inevitably stopped working". I completed the job and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. What a delightful 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.
