Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can easily contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors.

I had a wonderful day golfing during my holiday and was feeling cheerful with myself the following day as I was en route to assist a young couple vacationing in Dedham Heath. They stopped after filling petrol in their metallic red Volkswagen, and they were about half an hour away. I arrived at their car and smiled to myself as I listened to the lady chastising her hubby for turning out to be so confused. "How could you conceivably be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to clarify that this problem takes place on daily basis in Essex and that it's in reality nothing at all to get worried about, however he all the same got an ear bashing. Unfortunate chap. Anyways, I removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted goodbye and considered what my missus would ask me in the event that I did the very same thing... I would under no circumstances hear the end of it!

    • 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.
