It was before 9 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! James and I were relaxing going over the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Bishop Middleham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel mate's Hyundai Accent rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things sadly do happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected position and, because it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we could get to the customer right away. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the motel she was lodging at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away relaxed and less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in County Durham well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank can certainly result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

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.
