It was just before 10 pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Ray and me were sitting going over the weekend's sports results, at the ready for the 8th telephone call to come in. In due time we had the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the BP petrol station in Red Bridge and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel mate's Saab 9-2X lease car in error. She was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately do happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure position and, because it was only a few miles away from the office, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away satisfied and much less concerned. Another fuel drain in Lancashire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can easily trigger idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases pretty swiftly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

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 VA 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.
