It was close to six pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Paul and me were resting there discussing the weekend's sports results, waiting around for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling garage in Twyford and put petrol in a diesel super Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 hire car in error. The poor thing was quite troubled it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to address in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances quite expediently.

Keep in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be completely 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.

• 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.
