It was about seven pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and me were relaxing going over the rugby rankings, prepared for the sixth call to come in. In due time we had a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Abbey Wood and filled petrol in a diesel husband's VW Passat hire car in error. She was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to move the car to a safe area and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could reach the customer fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could return to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in Greenwich well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel is going to contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases pretty expediently.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be thoroughly 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.
