Eventually we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Sandhurst and put petrol in a diesel expensive Saab 9000 rental. She was quite irritated it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was running a diesel!"

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will likely produce idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances pretty quickly.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will be thoroughly 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.
