It was after seven pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's golf rankings, at the ready for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling station in Little Bristol and put petrol in her diesel aunt's Nissan rental in error. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from us, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was drained and she could get back to the Travelodge she was staying in.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will often result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances quite swiftly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be totally water-logged 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.
