It was after ten pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were sitting talking about the recent tennis rankings, ready for the seventh call that day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a girl on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Knighton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel daughter's Alfa Romeo Spider lease car by mistake. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, because it was only a short distance away from where we were, we were able to reach her quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could go home to the motel she was staying at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and a lot less stressed. Yet another fuel drain in Somerset well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel is likely to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not addressed fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Remember that if ever the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

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 VA 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.
