It was just after five pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were resting there going over the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the next telephone call to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Campsfield and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel aunt's Dodge Challenger rental in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected position and, seeing as it was only a short distance from the office, we could find the woman swiftly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to address in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel will lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations pretty swiftly.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Ahhh, that was a great night's sleep! It was 7:00 on a gloomy Saturday and we were on the way to help an older woman after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel cobalt blue Toyota MR2 in Campsfield. I'd been told she drove away from the filling station forecourt and pulled up on a country road en route to see her godchildren. I got her location punched in the Satnav and was with her inside an hour. I turned up at the destination and extracted the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm getting relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel as I had just got it a couple of days ago when my other one, which I had owned for over twenty years, inevitably broke down". I completed the drain and she gave me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a pleasant Oxfordshire woman!

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.
