It was after 6 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were sitting discussing the tennis results, ready for the 6th call of the day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Bickton and filled petrol in a diesel metallic red BMW 330 hire car in error. The poor thing was fairly affected it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to reach the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was lodging in.

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to handle in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is likely to trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both circumstances quite easily.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

A driver from Bickton with her youngsters in her diesel sunflower yellow Suzuki Kizashi had put £45 of petrol at the service station.

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.
