Finally we got a call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Ufton Green and filled petrol in her diesel canary yellow Mazda MX-5 rental by mistake. The poor lady was fairly irritated apparently, crying "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably do happen.

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to handle in a car - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations quite swiftly.

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.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.
