It was before 7 pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were relaxing there discussing the recent footy results, at the ready for the seventh job for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Monkwood and put the wrong fuel in a diesel friend's BMW Z4 M Roadster lease car by mistake. She was fairly agitated apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to get the car to a protected position and, as it was just a few miles from our van, we could get to her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less concerned. One more misfuel correction in Dorset done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to address in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may well trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both cases very expediently.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be completely wet 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.
