It was just after ten pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased pouring! Paul and I were seated there discussing the football results, waiting for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Burnham and filled petrol in her diesel dark red Mitsubishi lease car in error. She was pretty irritated apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things unfortunately happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure space and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we could reach the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she could return to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home satisfied and much less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is going to result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations very expediently.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a bright Sunday and I was on the way to help an old woman who put contaminated fuel in her diesel well worn BMW 1 Series in Burnham. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and was broken down in a backwater lane en route to visit her grandchildren. I got the location plugged straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I arrived at the destination and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing it she told me, "I am becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel since I'd only got it a short while ago when my old car, which I owned for in excess of 30 years, inevitably died on me". I got the job done and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks a lot. Such a lovely Buckinghamshire lady!

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.
