It was about 5 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting talking about the weekend's sports results, waiting for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Loxhill and filled petrol in a diesel aunt's Vauxhall Astra lease car by mistake. The poor thing was rather distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes from us, we were able to get to the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could go home to the motel she was lodging at. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and much less apprehensive. Another job in Surrey well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally a significant matter to handle in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases fairly simply.

Remember however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

I had enjoyed a terrific afternoon hiking during the weekend and felt pleased the next working day as I was en route to help a young family vacationing in Loxhill. They had pulled over after adding diesel into their raspberry red Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I arrived at their position and laughed to myself while I listened to the girl telling her man off for being so stupid. "Exactly how could you actually manage to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to explain that this occurs constantly in Surrey and that it is absolutely nothing to be anxious about, however he all the same got an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the chap. Anyways, I removed all of the wrong fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I waved bon voyage and wondered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

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:

• 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.
