It was close to 8 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's tennis results, at the ready for the 8th call of the day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Wonston and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel dark red Volkswagen Passat rental car by mistake. The poor lady was very irritated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things do happen. She managed to move the car to a safe space and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to arrive at her quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it to watch her drive away calm and much less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel may well produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances quite quickly.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be completely 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.
