It was close to 6 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were sitting there talking about the recent footy rankings, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Patchway and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel teal Seat Leon rental in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly affected apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably happen. She was able to get the car to a safe position and, as it was only a few minutes off from us, we could find the customer without delay. The bad fuel was removed so she could return to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away relaxed and much less anxious. A job in Gloucestershire well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances pretty quickly.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be completely 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.
