It was before six pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining!

Finally we got the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Vobster and put petrol in her diesel gorgeous Suzuki Samurai rental car by mistake. She was rather irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe that I've messed up the car!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to handle in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is likely to cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases very swiftly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Vobster - Wrong Fuel in Car Vobster

I had enjoyed a wonderful evening hiking during my holiday and was feeling cheerful the next working day as I set out to assist a young couple who were on holiday in Vobster. They conked out after filling diesel in their expensive Vauxhall Zafira, and they were around an hour's travel away. I turned up at their location and smirked as I listened to the woman telling off her hubby for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this goes on constantly in Somerset and that it is nothing to stress about, and yet he yet still had an earful. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some correct fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted hasta la vista and thought about what her indoors would say to me if I made the exact same mistake... I would personally never live it down!

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.
