It was close to 5 pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it had not given up on raining! Ray and I were sitting there commenting on the recent footy rankings, waiting around for the next call of the day to arrive. In due time we had the call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Chelford and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel partner's Mercedes SLK55 AMG lease car by mistake. She was very troubled apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to get the car to a safe space and, seeing that it was only a short distance from us, we were able to arrive at the woman quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive away contented and a lot less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Cheshire well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will likely trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases pretty easily.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

As she called us we attempted to sooth her as well as we could, assuring her that everything would be fine.

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.
