It was just after six pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were relaxing going over the rugby, ready for the next call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Whitacre Heath and put the wrong fuel in her diesel dark blue Mitsubishi Montero rental car in error. She was very troubled apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the car to a secure position and, because it was no more than a short distance from us, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less worried. One more fuel drain in Warwickshire done well in my opinion!

We can easily get out to re-fill the car in cases where you are stuck on the motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or possibly even at your home. Our specialists can attend with 10-20 litres of fuel (at pump price) to fill up your vehicle. They will be able to take care of the most common issues which could come with running out of fuel - such as airlocks, vehicle unable to start, and even flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to handle in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can potentially cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases fairly easily.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

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.
