Finally we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Purslow and filled petrol in her diesel shiny Suzuki Grand Vitara rental in error. She was quite affected it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!"

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question an important condition to address in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank can easily produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases very simply.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

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.
