It was after 10 pm on a Friday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were relaxing talking over the recent rugby, waiting around for the next call to come in. In due time we received a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Staythorpe and filled petrol in her diesel sombre grey BMW 600 lease car by mistake. She was rather troubled apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, also that such things regrettably can happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is likely to lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations rather swiftly.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

This really was an unsociable time to be on the road. It was about 2:30 in the morning and nobody was about. It was pretty dead thus far, and Ryan and I were loafing around reading through a couple of old papers. That was an uncommon tranquil hour in Nottinghamshire. It was indeed that tranquil that the instant the telephone ultimately rang it made me jump! The voice told me: "I've only just ended my night shift and foolishly put petrol in the light blue Hyundai Genesis". I instructed him to inform us just where the vehicle was situated and we set off, ending up in Staythorpe no more than half an hour later. The fuel was extracted from the vehicle. He thanked us for coming out so quickly. While we were heading back to the depot we noticed two women at the side of the road who seemed to have a flat tyre. As a result we stopped to change it, much to their elation.

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 VAT 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.
