It was close to 5 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and I were sitting there going over the weekend's football results, at the ready for the seventh telephone call to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Angmering and put the wrong fuel in a diesel aunt's Ford Escort rental car by mistake. She was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things often happen. She was able to get the car into a secure area and, seeing that it was only a few miles from us, we were able to arrive at her without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could go home to the Travelodge she was living at.

They can also deal with any of the typical problems that may come with running out of fuel - including airlocks, vehicle not starting, as well as flat batteries due to over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can easily trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances pretty easily.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

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.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.
