It was after ten pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing there talking about the golf rankings, at the ready for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Lillington and put petrol in a diesel customised Renault Espace hire car. She was pretty agitated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected area and, since it was only a few miles away from our van, we could arrive at the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing at.

Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (at pump prices) to fill up your car or truck. They will be able to handle the typical troubles which can go with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle not starting, or maybe flat batteries as a consequence of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can easily produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances very expediently.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

This really was the graveyard shift. It was close to 3am and almost noone was about. It had been fairly dead so far, and Paul and I were relaxing browsing a few old papers. It was an unusual peaceful moment in Warwickshire. It was in fact that tranquil that when the telephone rang it made me jump! The voice on the phone explained: "I have completed my night shift and stupidly poured petrol in a bright yellow Audi A6". I got him to let us know where he was located and we left, getting to him in Lillington not as much as an hour later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the engine and he thanked us profusely for showing up so quickly. As we were heading back to the depot we saw two ladies on the edge of the street who looked like they had a puncture. Accordingly we stopped to change it, much 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.
