It was about five pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were seated talking about the recent golf rankings, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Wilcott Marsh and filled petrol in a diesel rust red Honda CR-V hire car. The poor lady was quite troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I have messed up the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, also that these things regrettably happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel may well lead to idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases very swiftly.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

Just had a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Sunday and I was on my way to help an old lady after she had put petrol in her diesel grey Honda CR-V in Wilcott Marsh. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station and was broken down on a country lane on route to see her grandchildren. I got her location punched into the Satnav and got there inside an hour. I arrived at the destination and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. As I was doing the work she told me, "I'm getting rather forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car working with diesel since I'd just bought it a few days back because my other one, which I'd had for over 25 years, inevitably died on me". I finished the job and she presented me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a lovely Shropshire lady!

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.
