It was after 10 pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting going over the weekend's rugby rankings, ready for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Stoke and filled petrol in a diesel customised Volkswagen GLI hire car. She was very troubled it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, and also that things like this can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at her swiftly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could get back to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home contented and much less apprehensive. Yet another job in Suffolk well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to address in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations fairly swiftly.

You should know that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will likely be completely 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.
