It was before 10 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were seated there discussing the weekend's sports results, waiting around for the 6th call of the day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Shelve and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel stylish Peugeot 407 rental car in error. The poor lady was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a secure position and, since it was just a short distance away from the office, we were able to find the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and much less concerned. Another misfuel correction in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to take care of in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel can certainly trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases very easily.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet 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.

• 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.

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.
