It was just after five pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Dan and me were sitting discussing the weekend's footy results, ready for the seventh fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Upton Cheyney and filled petrol in her diesel Ferarri red Honda Prelude lease car in error. The poor thing was pretty distressed it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that these things often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure position and, seeing that it was just a few miles off from us, we were able to get to the lady swiftly.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a serious situation to handle in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will often trigger idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Take note though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

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.
