It was close to five pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and I were seated there going over the weekend's tennis, at the ready for the 6th job that day to arrive. Before long we received the call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Bradnor Green and put petrol in a diesel company's Suzuki Kizashi lease car by mistake. The poor thing was quite troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that things like this regrettably can happen.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is going to bring about idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations fairly simply.

Keep in mind that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

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.
