It was around 5 pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped raining! James and me were sitting going over the weekend's tennis, waiting for the 6th call for the day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in High Green and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel teal Lexus rental car. The poor thing was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably happen. She was able to move the car into a secure area and, because it was just a few minutes from the office, we could find the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and much less apprehensive. A job in Shropshire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will result in idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations rather simply.
You should know that if the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be totally 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:
- 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.
