It was before ten pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing there commenting on the recent tennis, ready for the 8th job of the day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Frampton Mansell and put the wrong fuel in a diesel khaki green Isuzu i-Series lease car. The poor thing was somewhat distressed it seemed, crying "I just can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things sadly happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, because it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we could find the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home contented and not so anxious. Yet another job in Gloucestershire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank can certainly cause idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations fairly easily.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet 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.
