It was before 5 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! James and me were sitting talking over the recent footy results, prepared for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Clapham Green and put the wrong fuel in her diesel bright white Nissan Armada lease car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat troubled it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things sadly often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, since it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to get to the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and a lot less worried. Another fuel drain in Bedfordshire done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel will cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases rather swiftly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

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.
