It was before 10 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were seated there discussing the weekend's golf rankings, waiting around for the seventh call of the day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Stretton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel modern Renault Alliance rental in error. The poor lady was fairly agitated it seemed, saying "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to worry, and that such things happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel can certainly bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Take note though that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

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 VA 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.
