In due time we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Warrington and put petrol in a diesel metallic yellow Cadillac SRX hire car. The poor thing was quite distressed apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe I have messed up the vehicle!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will often produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases fairly quickly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged 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.
