It was after 5 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased pouring! Ray and I were resting discussing the recent golf results, waiting for the 8th call for the day to arrive. In due time we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in South Reston and filled petrol in a diesel work's Peugeot Boxer rental car in error. She was rather distressed apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things sadly can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was no more than a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach the lady swiftly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was living at. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and less concerned. Yet another job in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue inside your fuel is likely to result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations pretty easily.
Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

It truly was what is called an unsociable hour to be up. It was roughly sunrise and noone was around. It had become quite uneventful thus far, and me and Paul were sitting browsing a number of old papers. That was an unusual quiet hour in Lincolnshire. It was so relaxing that the moment the phone finally rang I jumped with surprise! The customer on the phone said: "I have only just finished my night shift and incredibly poured petrol in the cream Mitsubishi 3000GT by mistake". We asked him to tell us where exactly he was and we set off, reaching him in South Reston no more than an hour later. The incorrect fuel was taken out from the engine and he thanked us for arriving so fast. While we were returning to the office we saw two women at the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a puncture. Accordingly we pulled up and helped them change it, to their elation.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
