It was before five pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were seated talking about the recent rugby results, ready for the next fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Walton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel dirty red Chevrolet Suburban rental car by mistake. She was quite troubled it seemed, crying "I can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe position and, as it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to find the woman swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off contented and less concerned. One more job in Derbyshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both cases quite simply.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Walton - Wrong Fuel in Car Walton

I had appreciated a terrific evening golfing during the weekend and felt pleased with myself the next working day as I was en route to help a young couple holidaying in Walton. They'd conked out after adding the wrong fuel in their well worn Chevrolet Silverado, and they were about half an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and smiled to myself as I listened to the gal telling her man off for actually being so confused. "Exactly how could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this problem happens frequently in Derbyshire and that it's really nothing at all to worry about, but he in spite of everything had an earful by his wife. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyhow, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some appropriate fuel. As they drove away I waved goodbye and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if ever I made the very same error... I would under no circumstances 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 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.
