It was before five pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were sitting there talking over the rugby results, at the ready for the next call that day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Heathlands and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel mint green Mercedes-Benz Sprinter rental in error. The poor lady was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably can happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant situation to deal with in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is going to contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances very swiftly.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and unusable.

So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the storage tanks and remove the fuel.

We got a phone call from a young man who had put the incorrect fuel in his clean white VW Touareg 2 in Heathlands. He had come to a stand-still on the street. "After adding petrol in my diesel car I didn't notice the dilemma up until the time we ground to a halt. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and got it running again. I was happy by both your speed and your charges". Of course we got there promptly and purged the engine after flushing all of the unleaded from the diesel tank. When he arrived the engineer said the client was fuming, but was pleased when we finished.

This was certainly the graveyard shift. It was roughly 2 in the morning and almost noone was around. It had become fairly dead thus far, and me and Brian were sitting looking through several old papers. This was an uncommon tranquil moment in Berkshire. It was that relaxing that the instant the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The voice on the other end explained: "I've just finished my overnight shift and stupidly put petrol in a navy blue Ford Taurus". We instructed him to tell us where the vehicle was located and we left, reaching him in Heathlands not as much as 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleared from the car and he thanked us profusely for coming so rapidly. While we were coming back home we noticed two ladies on the edge of the highway who appeared to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled up to change it, much to their elation.

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.
