It was just after five pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing discussing the footy rankings, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Rushall and filled petrol in a diesel mint condition BMW 1 Series lease car. She was fairly distressed apparently, saying "I cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things sadly happen. She managed to move the car to a protected area and, since it was just a short distance away from us, we were able to arrive at the lady rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. A job in Herefordshire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can easily produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances quite simply.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one is going to be totally 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:

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.
