It was just before 6 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were seated talking over the recent golf results, waiting for the 8th job to come in. Inevitably we had a call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Old Coulsdon and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic green Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class rental in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I have ruined the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!"

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually an important situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is going to cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases pretty quickly.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CR5 Postcode - Old Coulsdon Misfueling

Just had a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a sunny Bank Holiday Monday and I was on my way to assist an old sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel old Audi A8 in Old Coulsdon. I had been advised she had driven away from the petrol station and broken down on a rural lane en route to visit her family. I got the location plugged into the TomTom and got there within 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was working she told me, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my old age and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel as I'd only got it a couple of days ago after my previous car, which I'd used for about 25 years, finally stopped working". I finished the job and she presented me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a precious Croydon woman!

Wrong Fuel Assist Old Coulsdon - Wrong Fuel in Car Old Coulsdon

I had a terrific afternoon hiking during my holiday and was feeling delighted the following day as I set off to assist a young couple holidaying in Old Coulsdon. They'd stopped after inserting diesel in their compact Skoda Fabia, and the car was approximately half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and smirked to myself while I listened to the girl telling her husband off for being so confused. "How could you conceivably manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this occurs quite frequently in Croydon and that it's truly absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he all the same got an earful by his missus. Unfortunate guy. In any case, I drained out the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave them some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted bon voyage and considered what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I made the same mistake... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

• 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.
