It was just after 9 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing there talking over the golf rankings, waiting for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Colwall Stone and put petrol in her diesel winter grey Renault Laguna hire car. She was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at her almost instantly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel is likely to contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly expediently.

Be aware however that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Colwall Stone - Wrong Fuel in Car Colwall Stone

I had a terrific day golfing on my afternoon off and felt cheerful with myself the next day as I set out to help a young family who were on vacation in Colwall Stone. They conked out after filling petrol in their metallic green Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, and were about an hour away. I emerged at their car and smiled while I listened to the girl telling her partner off for actually being so silly. "Just how could you even find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this comes to pass everyday in Herefordshire and that it's nothing to be concerned about, and yet he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate boy. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I waved bon voyage and considered what my missus would say to me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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:

• 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.
