It was before five pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing talking about the recent rugby, prepared for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling station in Compton Greenfield and filled petrol in a diesel cyan Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class hire car in error. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this do happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe position and, as it was only a short distance off from our van, we were able to find the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home calm and a lot less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Gloucestershire done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can bring about idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations pretty expediently.

Take note however that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be thoroughly 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.
