It was after six pm on a Monday and though we were promised a rainless day, it had not ceased raining! James and I were sitting talking about the recent football results, prepared for the 8th fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Worsley Hall and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel partner's Jaguar XK rental by mistake. She was fairly affected by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, because it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off calm and less stressed. A job in Greater Manchester well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant situation to address in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can potentially contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations very simply.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.

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.
