It was before five pm on a Friday and while we were promised a dry day, it had not given up on pouring! Brian and I were relaxing discussing the rugby results, prepared for the 8th job to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in East Hanney and put the wrong fuel in a diesel son's Dodge Challenger rental car. She was rather irritated it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to find her without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the hotel she was residing at.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is going to cause idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations pretty expediently.
Take note however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
