It was after eight pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were sitting discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the next telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Downside and put petrol in a diesel green Mitsubishi Diamante lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was very agitated apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things can happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a secure space and, because it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to reach the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away contented and a lot less concerned. A job in East Sussex well done in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.
Water or AdBlue inside your fuel may well trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases rather quickly.
Take note that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will probably be completely water-logged 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:

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
