The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I've messed up the car!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel may well produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations pretty simply.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

It truly was what is called an unsociable hour to be awake. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was around. It had become quite quiet so far, and me and Paul were sitting around reading through some old magazines. It was an uncommon quiet moment in Gloucestershire. Actually it was indeed so relaxing that the instant the telephone ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The person explained: "I've finished my night shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in a blue Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 by mistake". We instructed him to tell us exactly where the vehicle was located and we left, arriving in Didbrook under an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the vehicle. He said many thanks for getting there so promptly. As we were coming back home we noticed two ladies at the edge of the street who seemed to have a puncture.

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.
