It was close to 6 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated talking over the weekend's football results, ready for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Condover and put the wrong fuel in a diesel grey Kia Spectra5 rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated apparently, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a safe space and, since it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could reach her without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the motel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home relaxed and not so concerned. Another job in Shropshire done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to address in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases pretty simply.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

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.
