It was around ten pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and I were resting there talking about the recent footy, ready for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Latton Bush and put the wrong fuel in her diesel uncle's Cadillac Eldorado rental car by mistake. She was rather irritated it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, also that these things often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a protected spot and, as it was only a few miles off from the office, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and not so apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Essex done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question an important issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can certainly bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances quite simply.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly 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.
