It was after ten pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were sitting there talking about the sports rankings, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Finally we got a call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Woodhouse and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic grey Cadillac XLR-V rental in error. The poor thing was pretty irritated it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure space and, because it was only a short distance away from us, we were able to get to the lady fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances rather easily.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely wet 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.
