It was just after five pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it had not given up on pouring! James and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's rugby, at the ready for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Osbaldeston and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel Ferarri red Hyundai Equus rental car in error. She was very irritated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, as it was just a short distance away from where we were, we could get to her swiftly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was living in.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will often produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations very easily.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

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.

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.
