It was just after ten pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Ryan and me were resting going over the weekend's golf results, waiting around for the 6th job for the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Little Wenham and filled petrol in her diesel new Citron rental car. The unfortunate lady was very troubled apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from us, we could reach the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home relaxed and much less apprehensive. A job in Suffolk done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question an important situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is going to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances rather quickly.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be thoroughly wet 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 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.
