It was about 8 pm on a Friday and while we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring! Mark and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's football, ready for the sixth fuel drain to come in. In due time we had the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Tiffield and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic blue Renault hire car. The poor thing was pretty distressed apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel may bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations quite swiftly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably 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.

• 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 VAT receipt.
