It was just before five pm on a Monday and while we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were resting there going over the recent tennis, waiting for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Netley Marsh and put the wrong fuel in her diesel sunflower yellow Vauxhall Combo hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I still cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing as it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could reach the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to return to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home calm and much less anxious. A fuel drain in Hampshire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to handle in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can certainly cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations pretty easily.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

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.
