It was around 8 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! Mark and me were seated there discussing the football, ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Newton with Scales and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dark blue Peugeot 104 lease car by mistake. The poor thing was somewhat troubled apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was just a few miles away from our van, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could go home to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away relaxed and less concerned. A job in Lancashire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly an important condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can easily bring about idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations quite expediently.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally water-logged 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 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.
