It was before 5 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and me were resting going over the footy, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Hartford End and filled petrol in a diesel sombre grey VW Eos hire car. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off relaxed and a lot less worried. A job in Essex done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel can potentially bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases quite swiftly.

You should know that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that 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.
