It was close to 5 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were sitting talking about the weekend's golf, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Bank and put the wrong fuel in a diesel deep grey Volkswagen Beetle hire car. She was very affected it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the car into a safe space and, since it was just a short distance off from us, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off relaxed and much less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Bromley well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances fairly easily.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

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.
