It was just after seven pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were sitting there talking over the golf rankings, ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Holmethorpe and put petrol in a diesel compact Peugeot Expert rental. The unfortunate lady was quite irritated apparently, crying "I can not believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we could get to the woman without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off satisfied and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Surrey well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel is likely to produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with fully, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations very easily.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

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.
