It was after 7 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were seated discussing the recent football, ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we had the call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Hawkesbury and filled petrol in her diesel well worn Renault Espace lease car in error. The poor thing was fairly irritated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to move the car to a protected area and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from the office, we were able to find the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and not so anxious. One more job in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may well bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances fairly simply.

You should know though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely 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.
