It was before 8 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing commenting on the recent golf, waiting for the 6th telephone call to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Hooe and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dark blue Citron hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was very distressed apparently, stating "I cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and less apprehensive. Yet another misfuel correction in East Sussex done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant condition to deal with in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations very easily.

Take note that if the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

A young lady from Hooe with a full car of children in her diesel gorgeous Volkswagen Jetta had filled her car with £50 of petrol at the BP service station. She called us crying and genuinely upset as she had never filled up with the wrong fuel before and did not know what might happen to her car in doing so. We told her that everything should be okay and that she would be back up and running quickly. When we arrived on scene she was visible upset but while our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she discovered that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable. She soon cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I just can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the little ones on board."

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.
