It was before 5 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's sports results, ready for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Hill and put the wrong fuel in her diesel classic Volkswagen Eos hire car by mistake. She was fairly agitated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was just a few miles away from where we were, we could arrive at the customer swiftly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel can contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both situations pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be totally wet and unusable.

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.
