In due time we received a phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Little Longstone and filled petrol in a diesel winter grey Peugeot Boxer hire car. The poor lady was somewhat distressed apparently, saying "I can not believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we could find the lady right away.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel may cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases very simply.

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.
