It was after 6 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were resting there going over the football, waiting for the sixth fuel drain to come in. Finally we received a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Crowthorne and filled petrol in a diesel grass green Mercedes-Benz S-Class lease car in error. She was rather agitated apparently, telling me "I can not believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, seeing that it was only a few miles from where we were, we could reach the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home calm and a lot less stressed. A job in Berkshire well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant situation to handle in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances very quickly.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

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.
