It was about 10 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! James and I were sitting there discussing the footy, waiting around for the next job of the day to come in. In due time we received a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Killamarsh and put petrol in a diesel customised Volvo940 lease car in error. She was fairly affected it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe space and, as it was only a few miles off from our van, we could arrive at her almost instantly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can certainly bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations pretty expediently.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

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.

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.
