It was just before five pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were seated there talking over the golf results, prepared for the sixth call that day to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Battlefield and put the wrong fuel in her diesel grey Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class lease car. She was quite affected apparently, stating "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we could reach her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can potentially produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations pretty quickly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly 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.
