It was after 9 pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and me were sitting there going over the weekend's golf rankings, at the ready for the seventh call of the day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Hartford and filled petrol in a diesel aunt's Cadillac Escalade EXT rental. The poor lady was somewhat distressed it seemed, crying "I can not believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected position and, because it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at the customer right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could return to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and not so stressed. One more job in Cheshire done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can easily result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances quite quickly.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be 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.
