It was close to 9 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were relaxing there talking about the recent footy rankings, prepared for the sixth telephone call to come in. Before long we received the call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Dunwood and filled petrol in a diesel teal Ford Taurus rental in error. The unfortunate thing was fairly agitated it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She was able to maneuver the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from where we were, we could reach the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was staying at.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.
Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can potentially cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases fairly easily.
You should know that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

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 VAT 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.
