It was before 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting discussing the weekend's footy results, waiting for the next call for the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Newdigate and filled petrol in a diesel dark blue Kia Optima rental car by mistake. She was quite troubled apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure position and, because it was just a short distance from where we were, we could find her right away. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was living in.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will likely bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations rather easily.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged 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 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.
