It was about six pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not ceased pouring! Mark and I were relaxing there talking about the recent footy results, waiting for the sixth call that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Tonwell and put petrol in a diesel company's Daihatsu Charade hire car by mistake. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I just can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things regrettably happen. She managed to move the car into a secure position and, because it was just a short distance off from the office, we could arrive at the customer rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to return to the hotel she was living at. Although we got very soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and a lot less stressed. Another misfuel correction in Hertfordshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations fairly swiftly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

I had a fantastic afternoon golfing on the weekend and felt delighted the next day as I was en route to help a young family on vacation in Tonwell. They'd conked out after inserting petrol in their work's Mercedes-Benz E-Class, and the car was close to an hour's travel away. I arrived at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the woman telling her spouse off for being so silly. "Exactly how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she asked him. I wanted to explain that this problem goes on quite frequently in Hertfordshire and that it's nothing at all to worry about, even so he yet still got his ear bent by his wife. Unfortunate lad. Anyhow, I removed all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some appropriate fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted farewell and pondered on what her indoors would tell me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
