Eventually we had the phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Norton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel faithful Volkswagen Touareg 2 lease car by mistake. She was fairly troubled it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I have ruined the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!"

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may well lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations rather swiftly.

Bear in mind that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally wet 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.
