Brian and me were resting there talking about the football, ready for the seventh call for the day to come in. Before long we received a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Shotteswell and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dark red Volvo850 hire car by mistake. She was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things unfortunately happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is going to bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases quite simply.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a sunny Wednesday and we were off to help an elder lady after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel green VW Jetta III in Shotteswell. I'd been told she had driven away from the petrol station and pulled up in a backwater road en route to visit her godchildren. I got the location punched in the Satnav and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I got to the car and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing it she told me, "I'm getting fairly forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel because I'd only acquired it a couple of days ago right after my previous one, which I used for more than thirty years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the drain and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful Warwickshire woman!

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.
