It was after five pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were sitting there talking over the sports results, at the ready for the next fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling station in Isle of Dogs and put petrol in her diesel luxury Audi A5 hire car. She was quite irritated it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure space and, since it was no more than a few minutes from our van, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and less stressed. Yet another job in Tower Hamlets well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can potentially lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both cases rather quickly.

Remember however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

This really was an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was close to 3am and hardly anyone was around. It was quite uneventful up to now, and Ray and I were loafing around reading through a couple of old papers. It was an uncommon calm time in Tower Hamlets. It was indeed so peaceful that the moment the phone inevitably rang I leaped! The voice on the phone said: "I have just concluded my evening shift and stupidly poured petrol in the diesel winter grey Dodge Ram". I told him to tell us just where the car was and we headed out, arriving in Isle of Dogs under an hour later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the vehicle. He said many thanks for showing up so quickly. As we were coming back home we noticed two girls on the side of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. As a result we got out to help 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:

  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.
