It was before ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not ceased raining! Dan and me were resting there talking about the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the 8th job that day to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Cox Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel dad's Fiat Punto rental car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat distressed apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we were able to get to her swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and a lot less concerned. Yet another fuel drain in Greater Manchester done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank may well bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can solve both cases quite swiftly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably 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 VA 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.
