It was around 9 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were resting talking over the tennis, prepared for the 8th job for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Norwood and put the wrong fuel in her diesel sky blue BMW Z4 rental. The unfortunate lady was quite affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to move the car into a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases fairly easily.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

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.
