It was after seven pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's golf, at the ready for the sixth job to arrive. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Gembling and filled petrol in her diesel wife's Mitsubishi 3000GT rental car in error. The poor lady was pretty irritated apparently, saying "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things sadly often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in East Riding of Yorkshire done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel is likely to bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations quite swiftly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly wet 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.

1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong 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 VAT receipt.
