It was after seven pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased raining! Brian and I were seated discussing the weekend's footy results, prepared for the next fuel drain to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Harold Park and put petrol in a diesel mate's Seat Mii rental. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected area and, as it was just a short distance away from where we were, we could find her right away. The wrong fuel was drained and she could go home to the motel she was living in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away satisfied and less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Havering done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel can easily contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations pretty expediently.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a warm Sunday and I was en route to assist an older lady after she put petrol in her diesel elegant Honda Civic in Harold Park. I'd been advised she had left the petrol station and was stranded along a backwater lane along the way to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I got her location punched straight into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour. I turned up at the destination and removed the wrong fuel in the car car. As I was doing the work she told me, "I have been getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car working with diesel since I'd only bought it a week ago after my other one, which I used for in excess of 30 years, eventually stopped working". I got the drain completed and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my work. What a pleasant Havering woman!

I appreciated a terrific afternoon fishing on my holiday and felt cheerful with myself the following morning as I was on the way to aid a young family who were away in Harold Park. They'd stopped after filling petrol in their mum's Mazda RX-7, and the car was close to half an hour's drive away. I arrived at their car and smirked as I heard to the lady telling her man off for being so daft. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this problem happens regularly in Havering and that it is nothing at all to be concerned about, even so he still had an ear bashing. Unlucky lad. In any case, I removed the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and filled them up with the right fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted bon voyage and pondered on what my wife would say to me if ever I made the very same blunder... I would personally never ever live it down!

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.
