Inevitably we had the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Lower Row and put petrol in a diesel canary yellow Mercedes M-Class rental car in error.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a serious matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel may trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases quite quickly.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be completely wet and useless.

I'd had a fantastic evening fishing during the weekend and was feeling pleased the following day as I was en route to help a young couple who were away in Lower Row. They conked out after adding diesel into their precious Cadillac Escalade ESV, and they were around an hour's travel away. I got there at their position and smirked while I listened to the girl berating her spouse for being so silly. "Precisely how could you conceivably be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this occurs everyday in Dorset and that it's truly absolutely nothing to worry about, nevertheless he still got an earful. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyway, I drained out all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave them some correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I mouthed good-bye and considered what my missus would say to me if perhaps I made the exact same blunder... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
