It was around 8 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and me were sitting there going over the tennis, prepared for the 6th call that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Rushmere and put the wrong fuel in a diesel customised Kia Carens rental car in error. She was fairly irritated apparently, stating "I can't believe I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably do happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure space and, as it was just a short distance from us, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing in.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel is going to cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances pretty simply.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and unusable.

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.
