It was just after 8 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and me were resting talking about the footy, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in East Knighton and filled petrol in her diesel cobalt blue Mazda MX-3 rental. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure area and, since it was just a short distance off from our van, we could get to the customer fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got really drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off relaxed and much less concerned. Another job in Dorset well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations rather simply.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly 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:

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.
