It was around seven pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and me were relaxing commenting on the golf, ready for the next telephone call for the day to arrive. Before long we got a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Stebbing Green and filled petrol in a diesel son's Dodge Charger hire car by mistake. The poor lady was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure spot and, because it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could get to the customer right away. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. Another job in Essex well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can easily result in idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases very expediently.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be thoroughly 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 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.
