It was close to eight pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased raining! James and I were resting there talking about the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the 6th call for the day to come in. In due time we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Woodingdean and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel red Alfa Romeo164 lease car in error. The poor lady was quite distressed apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, plus that such things regrettably happen. She was able to get the car to a protected space and, since it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to reach the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home contented and less anxious. A fuel drain in East Sussex well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will often trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both cases rather simply.

Take note that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

I enjoyed a fantastic day golfing during my holiday and was feeling delighted the following morning as I was en route to help a new couple who were on holiday in Woodingdean. They pulled over after inserting petrol in their yellow Chevrolet Suburban, and were around an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and smiled as I listened to the wife telling her partner off for being so stupid. "Just how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I attempted to explain that this goes on constantly in East Sussex and that it's nothing to be concerned about, and yet he yet still got an ear bashing by his better half. Unfortunate lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled them up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted so long and considered what her indoors would tell me if I did the very same thing... I would personally never live it down!

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.
