It was around 8 pm on a Monday and even though we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were sitting there talking about the recent football, waiting for the seventh job to come in. Eventually we got the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Thorpe Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel daughter's Jaguar XF rental car. The unfortunate thing was rather troubled it seemed, stating "I can't believe I have ruined the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe spot and, because it was only a short distance off from our van, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could return to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and not so worried. Another misfuel correction in Lancashire well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel can easily cause idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both situations fairly simply.

Take note however that if the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely 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.
