It was before 10 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting talking about the recent football results, at the ready for the sixth job that day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Lynch and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel black Suzuki Kizashi rental car. The poor lady was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things do happen. She was able to relocate the car into a secure area and, as it was only a few miles off from our van, we were able to get to the lady rather quickly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel can easily contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations fairly expediently.

Be aware though that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be totally 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.
