It was just before 5 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining!

Before long we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in New Woodhouses and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel classic Nissan Leaf rental. The poor thing was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately can happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank may well bring about idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind however that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

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.
