It was just before seven pm on a Monday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were seated talking about the footy rankings, waiting for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we received the call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Stock and put petrol in her diesel beloved Seat Arosa rental. She was pretty irritated it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, also that things like this do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and much less anxious. A job in Somerset well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is going to produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both circumstances quite expediently.
Be aware that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

This was certainly the night shift. It was roughly dawn and almost noone was about. It had been fairly dead thus far, and me and Ryan were relaxing browsing a few old magazines. This was an uncommon tranquil moment in Somerset. It was in fact so calm that the instant the phone rang I jumped with surprise! The person stated: "I have just finished my evening shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in my racing green Smart Car in error". I got him to tell us just where the vehicle was and we headed out, arriving in Stock under 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned from the motor. He said many thanks for getting there so quickly. While we were returning to base we noticed two young women on the side of the highway who looked like they had a flat. Obviously we stopped to change it, to their delight.

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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
