It was just before 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were resting talking over the weekend's rugby results, prepared for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we received the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Lower Down and put petrol in her diesel shiny Peugeot 107 rental. She was quite troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a secure area and, because it was only a short distance off from the office, we could reach the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got very soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away relaxed and less anxious.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to address in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations fairly easily.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will be thoroughly wet 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.
