It was just before six pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were seated discussing the sports, waiting around for the seventh telephone call to arrive. In due time we got the call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Holyfield and put the wrong fuel in a diesel apple green Volvo S90 rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed apparently, saying "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She was able to get the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to get to her swiftly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel is likely to contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations rather expediently.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be completely 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.
