It was just before 8 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain!

Eventually we had a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Longnewton and put petrol in a diesel navy blue Jaguar lease car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly agitated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to address in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can potentially cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be totally 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.

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.
