It was after seven pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing talking over the recent golf, prepared for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Rainsough and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel pristine Dodge Sprinter lease car in error. The poor lady was rather agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected position and, as it was just a few miles away from us, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at.

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to take care of in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can easily contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations quite easily.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

This was what we call an unsociable hour to be up. It was about sunrise and almost noone was stirring. It had been rather dead so far, and John and I were relaxing reading a few old newspapers. It was an unusual calm hour in Greater Manchester. It was in fact so peaceful that the instant the telephone eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The customer on the phone explained: "I only just ended my evening shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in my diesel dad's Chevrolet Silverado by mistake". I told him to tell us where he was located and we hit the road, arriving in Rainsough under half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned from the car. He said thanks a lot for coming out so quickly. As we were going back home we noticed two women at the edge of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat. As a result we stopped to help them change it, to their elation.

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.
