It was after 5 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and me were sitting there going over the recent golf rankings, waiting for the sixth fuel drain that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Willington Quay and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel matte black BMW M6 lease car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, since it was just a few miles away from the office, we could get to her rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and much less anxious. One more fuel drain in Tyne and Wear well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will often result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations very quickly.

Take note however that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Willington Quay - Wrong Fuel in Car Willington Quay

I appreciated a perfect evening cycling during my holiday and was feeling pleased with myself the following day as I was on the way to help a young family who were holidaying in Willington Quay. They had stopped after putting the wrong fuel into their super Audi RS 6, and the car was roughly an hour away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself while I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this comes to pass all the time in Tyne and Wear and that it's really nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he all the same had an earful. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. While they drove off I shouted farewell and considered what my missus would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally never ever 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 VA 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.
