Ryan and me were relaxing discussing the tennis, at the ready for the seventh fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Mildenhall and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel racing green Isuzu i-350 rental. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was driving a diesel!"

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel can potentially produce idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty expediently.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly 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.
