It was about 10 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and me were relaxing talking about the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Sugnall and put the wrong fuel in her diesel son's Audi Allroad lease car. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to find the woman almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off relaxed and not so concerned. A fuel drain in Staffordshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in Sugnall (out of gas - as our American cousins might say)? We operate a complete Staffordshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can easily get out to re-fill your car in cases where you are stranded on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our engineers can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the correct fuel (bought at cost) to refill your automobile. They will take care of the normal troubles that may go with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle unable to restart, or even flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can potentially bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations fairly swiftly.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Sugnall

We a few weeks ago had a phone call from a driver who had put the wrong fuel in his work's Volkswagen in Sugnall. He had ground to a halt on the street. "After adding unleaded in my diesel car I didn't notice the issue before we ground to a halt. You cleared the wrong fuel from my car and had it running once again. I was pleased by both your speed and your rates". Obviously we were on-scene rapidly and purged the engine after draining all of the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. When he arrived our fuel drainer said the driver was scowling, but was satisfied afterwards.

This was most definitely the night shift. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was about. It had been quite quiet until now, and me and Ray were loafing around reading through a couple of old articles. This was an uncommon tranquil hour in Staffordshire. It was in fact so calm that the moment the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The voice on the other end explained: "I have only just concluded my overnight shift and foolishly put petrol in my customised Cadillac Sixty Special by mistake". We instructed him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was located and we hit the road, ending up in Sugnall under an hour or so later. The fuel was extracted from the motor. He said thanks for coming out so fast. As we were heading back to base we saw two young women on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat. Accordingly we pulled up to change it, 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.
