It was just after 7 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were seated there talking about the footy rankings, waiting around for the sixth job to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in New Malden and put the wrong fuel in her diesel shiny Ford lease car in error. She was somewhat irritated apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!"

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank may well lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both circumstances quite quickly.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will 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.
