It was about ten pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a rainless night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and me were seated there talking about the weekend's golf, waiting around for the seventh job of the day to come in. Finally we had the phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had gone to the Esso filling garage in Wolverton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel faithful Chevrolet Camaro lease car in error. She was pretty agitated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this often happen. She was able to get the car to a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we could reach the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Warwickshire done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank may cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations fairly quickly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

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.
