It was close to 8 pm on a Wednesday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were sitting discussing the recent sports results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Newby Cote and put the wrong fuel in a diesel shiny VW Jetta III rental car by mistake. The poor thing was very distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was just a short distance from where we were, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was living at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home satisfied and less stressed. Another misfuel correction in North Yorkshire done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to deal with in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can certainly trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

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.
