It was around 9 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and me were relaxing there commenting on the football rankings, waiting for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Stansted Mountfitchet and put petrol in a diesel maroon BMW 530 rental car by mistake. She was pretty troubled it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to move the car into a secure position and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from us, we were able to get to the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off relaxed and not so apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Essex done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases pretty quickly.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be totally water-logged 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.
