It was about 6 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! James and me were sitting there talking over the rugby, at the ready for the next telephone call that day to come in. Before long we got a call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Compton Abbas and put petrol in a diesel daughter's VW Beetle hire car in error. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the car into a secure position and, since it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to reach the customer right away. The bad fuel was removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away calm and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Dorset done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can certainly lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

You should know though that any time the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly 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.

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.
