Before long we had a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Scarrington and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel mint condition Alfa Romeo164 hire car in error. The poor lady was very agitated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I have ruined the vehicle!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is going to cause idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both circumstances fairly simply.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely 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.

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.
