Finally we had the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Peacemarsh and filled petrol in a diesel silver Volkswagen Beetle hire car by mistake. She was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!"

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases very simply.

You should know though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely wet and useless.

Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel.

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.
