It was after 5 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on pouring! Dan and me were sitting commenting on the weekend's golf, prepared for the 6th call to come in. In due time we received the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling station in High Forge and filled petrol in her diesel spotless Toyota Prius rental. She was quite affected it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly can happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel is likely to result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases fairly expediently.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist High Forge - Wrong Fuel in Car High Forge

I had a terrific evening golfing during the weekend and felt pleased with myself the next working day as I set off to assist a new couple who were on vacation in High Forge. They had conked out after inserting petrol into their beloved Mazda Navajo, and the car was close to half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked to myself while I listened to the girl telling off her hubby for actually being so confused. "How could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this problem happens constantly in County Durham and that it's actually absolutely nothing to worry about, however he yet still had his ear bent. I felt genuine sympathy for the guy. Anyway, I drained all of the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove away I shouted good bye and considered what my wife would say to me if I did the same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

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.
