It was around 7 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! James and me were seated there talking about the football results, waiting around for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Harrow Hill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel elegant Honda CR-V hire car. The unfortunate thing was very distressed it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel can easily cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

You should know however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

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.
