It was before seven pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ray and me were sitting there discussing the recent rugby rankings, prepared for the 8th job to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Wiggenhall St Peter and put the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic blue Seat Leon lease car in error. The poor thing was rather distressed apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to take care of in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can certainly result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations fairly easily.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Now I am not ever that inclined to doing the job on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I had just come away from the wife and kids after a magnificent Sunday roast made by the missus, and I was on my way to help a gentleman because he filled the wrong fuel in his aunt's Isuzu i-Series. He was only in Wiggenhall St Peter so I arrived with him before long. As I drove up at the vehicle and started work he said to me "Praise God! I foolishly had my attention on other stuff and failed to ascertain I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I created some harm simply by driving it?" I stated that generally there should not be any harm and that also I'd get the contaminated fuel drained at once. Needless to say I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled it with the suitable fuel, and so another contented customer had the ability to continue his trip without difficulty. The guy couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and that makes operating on weekends in Norfolk just that little bit less painful for me!

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.
