It was after five pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Dan and me were relaxing there going over the tennis results, prepared for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Kingsmoor and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel son's Land Rover Discovery rental car in error. The poor thing was fairly troubled it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a secure space and, as it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Although we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive off contented and much less stressed.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances very quickly.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet 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.
