It was just before 7 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's football results, waiting around for the next call to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Holmewood and put the wrong fuel in her diesel white Fiat Punto rental in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty affected apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, as it was no more than a short distance off from us, we could get to the woman swiftly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases rather easily.
Remember though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be totally water-logged 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:
- 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.

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 VAT receipt.
- 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.
