It was just after ten pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were seated there talking about the football rankings, waiting around for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco petrol station in Yealand Conyers and put petrol in her diesel aunt's Volvo XC90 hire car by mistake. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was just a few miles off from where we were, we were able to reach the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can potentially lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations fairly simply.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Yealand Conyers

Now I am certainly not too enthusiastic about doing work weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had just left home following a wonderful Sunday roast prepared by the missus, and I was on my way to deal with a gentleman who filled the wrong petrol in his grass green BMW Z3. He was somewhere in Yealand Conyers hence I was there very quickly. As I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my thoughts on stuff and failed to realise I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought on problems through running it?" I explained there shouldn't be any problems and also I'd drain the wrong fuel as quickly as possible for him. Naturally I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in some correct fuel, and thus one more pleased customer could continue their trip without any bother. He did not stop thanking me, and that is what tends to make carrying out work on weekends in Lancashire just a little bit less painful for me personally!

This really was what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly dawn and almost noone was about. It had become fairly dead up to now, and Ray and I were loafing reading through some old newspapers. That was an unusual calm moment in Lancashire. It was in fact so relaxing that the instant my mobile eventually rang I jumped! The customer on the other end said: "I've only just completed my evening shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in my diesel cream Volvo S70 by mistake". We got him to tell us where the vehicle was and we left, arriving in Yealand Conyers less than 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned from the motor and he said thank you for arriving so fast. While we were coming back home we found two ladies at the edge of the road who seemed to have a flat. Accordingly we got out to change it, to their delight.

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.
