It was around ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a rainless night, it had not given up on pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing commenting on the recent footy, waiting for the sixth call for the day to come in. Finally we received a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Upware and filled petrol in her diesel buff Jaguar S-Type rental car in error. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, saying "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure area and, because it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we were able to find the customer swiftly. The bad fuel was removed so she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off satisfied and not so stressed.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may well bring about idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations pretty quickly.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel

    • 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.
  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.
