It was close to 6 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's tennis results, prepared for the 6th job that day to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Houghton Bank and put the wrong fuel in a diesel dad's Volvo S40 lease car. The poor thing was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected area and, as it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive off calm and less worried.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is going to produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances rather simply.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

I'd had a great evening hiking on the weekend and felt contented the following working day as I was en route to help a young family holidaying in Houghton Bank. They had pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their metallic yellow Citron Zara, and they were approximately half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the gal telling her hubby off for being so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to explain that this kind of thing comes to pass all the time in County Durham and that it is absolutely nothing to stress about, however he yet still got an earful by his missus. Unlucky lad. Anyways, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved good-bye and pondered on what her indoors would ask me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!

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.
