It was around 6 pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and me were relaxing talking over the football, waiting around for the next call that day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Perthy and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel dark red Alfa Romeo164 hire car by mistake. She was somewhat affected it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a protected area and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from us, we were able to find the lady quickly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is likely to contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases very swiftly.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

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.
