It was around five pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were seated there talking over the recent tennis, ready for the next call to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Gatwick and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dark green VW Touareg 2 lease car by mistake. She was pretty affected it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe position and, since it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could find the lady right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is likely to contribute to idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases fairly simply.

You should know that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely 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.

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.
