Before long we got a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Heyheads and put petrol in a diesel deep grey Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 rental car. She was somewhat agitated apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!"

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to deal with in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank can easily bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases very simply.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Assist Heyheads - Wrong Fuel in Car Heyheads

I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon fishing during the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the next day as I set out to aid a young family holidaying in Heyheads. They broken down after inserting petrol into their work's Mercedes-Benz CLK-Class, and they were roughly an hour's travel away. I turned up at their position and laughed to myself while I listened to the lady chastising her spouse for turning out to be so silly. "Exactly how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this occurs everyday in Greater Manchester and that it is nothing to get worried about, nevertheless he still had an earful. Unlucky boy. At any rate, I extracted the wrong fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some correct fuel. As they drove down the road I shouted good-bye and pondered on what my missus would tell me if perhaps I did the same thing... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car Greater Manchester - Petrol in Diesel Car Heyheads

Now I'm not overly inclined to working weekends, and last week was no different. I'd only just departed the family following a lovely lunch cooked for me by the missus, and I was en route to assist a man because he filled the wrong fuel in his company's Jaguar XJ. He was situated in Heyheads thus it wasn't long before I arrived with him. Just as I arrived at the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank the Almighty! I foolishly had my attention on stuff and did not perceive I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about some problems by running it?" I said that generally there probably should not be any damage and also I would personally drain the contaminated fuel at once for him. As expected I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and so one more satisfied customer had the ability to carry on with their journey without any hassle. He did not stop thanking me, and that is exactly what tends to make operating on Sundays in Greater Manchester a tiny bit easier to me!

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 VA 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.
