It was after ten pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's footy, ready for the 8th call of the day to arrive. In due time we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Quorndon and put petrol in her diesel uncle's VW Jetta rental car. The unfortunate lady was quite affected apparently, telling me "I can not believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that such things do happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe spot and, as it was only a few miles away from the office, we were able to reach the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less anxious. A fuel drain in Leicestershire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to handle in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will often lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both cases fairly quickly.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

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.
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.
