It was about 6 pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent tennis results, prepared for the next telephone call to come in. In due time we got the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Grange Villa and put the wrong fuel in a diesel uncle's Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG rental car by mistake. The poor lady was very affected apparently, stating "I simply can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from us, we could arrive at her rather quickly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can potentially trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances quite simply.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will 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.
