It was about ten pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were relaxing there talking over the weekend's rugby, waiting for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Handsacre and put petrol in her diesel trusty Mercedes-Benz M-Class rental car in error. She was pretty troubled it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to get the car to a safe area and, as it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could get back to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and a lot less stressed. Another fuel drain in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can certainly lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Bear in mind that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will probably be completely water-logged 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.
