It was just before five pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were resting commenting on the weekend's football results, ready for the next telephone call that day to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in High Dyke and put petrol in a diesel brother's Mercedes CLS-Class rental. She was quite irritated it seemed, stating "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things regrettably often happen. She managed to get the car into a protected space and, since it was just a short distance off from where we were, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got fairly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off relaxed and less worried. Another misfuel correction in County Durham well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to take care of in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will often result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both circumstances very quickly.

Take note that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

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 VA 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.
