It was just after 9 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and me were resting going over the recent sports results, waiting for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Lambeth and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel red BMW 330 rental car in error. She was quite affected it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the car to a protected spot and, because it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we could find her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off contented and less concerned. Yet another job in Lambeth done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both situations quite swiftly.

You should know that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will be completely wet 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.
