It was before six pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were sitting there going over the golf rankings, ready for the 8th job for the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Wheatcroft and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel expensive Honda Civic lease car in error. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!"

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel will often bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both cases pretty expediently.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

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 VAT 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.
