It was before seven pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were seated there going over the golf results, waiting for the 6th call for the day to come in. Before long we received the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Woolwich and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel yellow Mazda B-Series Plus rental. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things sadly happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe area and, because it was just a short distance from where we were, we could arrive at the customer right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to deal with in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can potentially contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases fairly simply.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

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.

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.
