It was after five pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting there discussing the recent rugby, ready for the next fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we had the call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Lydford-on-Fosse and filled petrol in her diesel new BMW X6 M rental car by mistake. The poor thing was fairly troubled it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected area and, because it was no more than a short distance off from us, we could arrive at the lady swiftly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel may well trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both cases very quickly.

Be aware that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged 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.
