It was before 6 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's golf results, waiting for the seventh telephone call to come in. In due time we had the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Cordwell and put the wrong fuel in her diesel navy blue Subaru Impreza WRX rental by mistake. The poor lady was rather agitated it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, also that such things sadly often happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe space and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home satisfied and less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in Norfolk well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol can bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances pretty easily.

Take note though that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be completely wet 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.

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.
