It was about 6 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were resting there going over the recent rugby, waiting for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Alvecote and put the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic blue Audi Allroad hire car in error. She was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected area and, as it was no more than a short distance from our van, we could find the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she could go home to the motel she was living in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away relaxed and less worried. Another job in Warwickshire done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can easily result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases rather simply.

Keep in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely 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:

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.
