It was just after five pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated there talking about the recent footy rankings, waiting for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Lower Hamworthy and put the wrong fuel in a diesel dark green Vauxhall Insignia lease car in error. She was fairly agitated it seemed, saying "I can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that such things do happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing as it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to arrive at her without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Dorset well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel can trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases quite quickly.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely 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.
