It was just after ten pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't given up on raining!

In due time we got the call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Holmes and put the wrong fuel in a diesel light green Jaguar XJ Series hire car by mistake. The poor lady was rather agitated apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately happen.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is likely to lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Holmes

Now I'm certainly not excessively inclined to running on Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I had just departed the wife and kids after eating a magnificent roast made for us by the wife, and I was on the way to sort out a gentleman after he had filled the wrong fuel in his beautiful Subaru Impreza WRX. He was only in Holmes thus I was there quickly. Just as I drove up right behind the vehicle and got out he said to me "Thank the Lord! I incredibly had my attention on other stuff and didn't grasp that I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I caused damage through driving it?" I said truth be told there probably should not be any kind of damage and that also I'd get the wrong fuel drained right away. Needless to say I drained the contaminated fuel from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and then another delighted motorist could continue on his trip without the need for difficulty. He could not stop thanking me, and that is actually what makes operating on weekends in Lancashire a little less painful to me!

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.
