It was just before 8 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it had not given up on pouring! Mark and I were sitting there commenting on the weekend's golf results, at the ready for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the BP filling station in Poulshot and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel shiny Volvo S70 hire car. The unfortunate lady was pretty agitated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably do happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could go home to the hotel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home relaxed and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in Wiltshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is going to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases fairly quickly.

Take note that any time the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be totally water-logged 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.
