It was after five pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ray and I were sitting talking about the weekend's rugby, waiting for the 8th call for the day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Leigh Woods and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel cobalt blue Honda Prelude lease car in error. The poor thing was very distressed it seemed, stating "I can not believe I have messed up the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was only a short distance away from the office, we were able to get to her quickly. The bad fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off calm and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a serious issue to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will often bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both situations quite expediently.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

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.
