It was just before 5 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were relaxing there talking over the tennis results, prepared for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Blackoe and filled petrol in a diesel beautiful Volvo S70 rental car in error. The poor lady was fairly irritated apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that such things happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure position and, as it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to get to her without delay.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances quite easily.

You should know however that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one is going to 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.
