It was just before five pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were sitting there talking over the football rankings, ready for the 6th job that day to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Euston and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel red Audi RS 4 hire car in error. The poor lady was pretty irritated it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she could go home to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and less apprehensive. Another job in Suffolk done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can cause idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases very swiftly.
Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will undoubtedly 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
