It was just before ten pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring! Paul and I were sitting there commenting on the recent rugby, prepared for the 6th call that day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Oldcroft and put petrol in her diesel dark green Daewoo Leganza rental in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things can happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious issue to deal with in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel will often produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both cases fairly expediently.

You should know though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

I'd had a terrific afternoon hiking on my afternoon off and felt cheerful with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a new family away in Oldcroft. They stopped after filling the wrong fuel in their black BMW X3, and the car was around an hour's drive away. I turned up at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the wife berating her hubby for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you conceivably manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this occurs everyday in Gloucestershire and that it's truly absolutely nothing to be anxious about, and yet he in spite of everything had an earful by his better half. I felt sorry for the guy. Anyways, I drained the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive off I waved so long and wondered what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the very same thing... I'd personally never ever live it down!

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.
