It was after 5 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring! Paul and I were relaxing there commenting on the football results, ready for the 8th call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Ringmer and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel beloved Renault Espace rental in error. The poor lady was somewhat agitated apparently, stating "I still can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe space and, since it was only a short distance from the office, we were able to reach the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and a lot less concerned. Another fuel drain in East Sussex done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant issue to address in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can easily contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances quite simply.
Take note however that so long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be completely 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.
Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
