Dan and me were relaxing there talking over the recent football results, prepared for the next job for the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Hutton Henry and filled petrol in a diesel beautiful Mazda B-Series Plus rental in error. The poor thing was quite distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, since it was only a few miles off from our van, we were able to arrive at her quickly.

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations very quickly.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

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 VA 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.
