It was about seven pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were sitting there discussing the weekend's golf results, waiting around for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Chesterton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel red Nissan JUKE hire car in error. She was very agitated apparently, saying "I can not believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure space and, as it was only a short distance from us, we could get to the lady almost instantly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to handle in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can potentially trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly 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.
