It was close to five pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting there talking about the golf, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Marlesford and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel burgundy red Vauxhall Corsa hire car in error. She was pretty irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!"

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is going to contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances very quickly.

Keep in mind however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly 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 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.
