It was around 9 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and me were resting there commenting on the sports, waiting for the 8th job that day to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in North Burlingham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic grey Lexus LX hire car. The poor lady was very troubled it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from our van, we could find the lady right away.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to address in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel can certainly produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances quite easily.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will be totally 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.
