James and me were seated talking about the recent sports rankings, waiting for the next job to arrive. Before long we had a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Esso filling garage in The Hollands and put the wrong fuel in her diesel brand new Dodge Challenger lease car in error. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately often happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances quite quickly.

Be aware that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will probably be completely 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:

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.
