It was about 10 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing there commenting on the golf rankings, prepared for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we got the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the BP filling garage in Long Compton and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel blue BMW X5 lease car in error. The poor thing was very troubled apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, since it was no more than a short distance away from us, we could reach her rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living in.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel may well result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations fairly expediently.

Take note however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely 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 VAT 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.
