It was after 6 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and me were sitting there talking about the recent golf, ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to arrive. Inevitably we had a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Three Legged Cross and put petrol in her diesel dark red Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class hire car in error. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could get back to the hotel she was residing in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off relaxed and not so concerned. One more job in Dorset well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both situations fairly swiftly.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

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.
