It was just after ten pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting there commenting on the football, waiting for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Lower Woodend and put petrol in her diesel canary yellow Toyota Cressida rental car. The unfortunate thing was pretty irritated apparently, crying "I can't believe I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably can happen. She managed to relocate the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from the office, we could reach the woman without delay. The bad fuel was taken out so she could get back to the motel she was staying in. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and much less anxious. A job in Buckinghamshire well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to deal with in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel may result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases quite quickly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally wet 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.
