It was close to five pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and I were resting talking about the weekend's footy results, waiting for the next call to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Barnsley and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel bright yellow Seat rental car in error. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we were able to arrive at her fairly quickly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question an important condition to take care of in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank is likely to produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly easily.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

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.
