It was close to 6 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting there commenting on the footy, at the ready for the next telephone call to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Leaden Roding and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel silver Audi S4 rental car in error. The poor thing was pretty distressed apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things often happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected area and, as it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away calm and less anxious. Another fuel drain in Essex done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is going to cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations pretty simply.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will probably be totally 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:

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.
