It was just before 5 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were seated going over the weekend's rugby results, prepared for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Charlwood and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic yellow Cadillac XLR-V rental car. The poor lady was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, and that such things do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe area and, because it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could go home to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and less apprehensive. A job in East Sussex well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will likely lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases quite easily.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

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 VAT 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.
