It was about seven pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry night, it had not ceased pouring! Paul and I were seated there talking over the recent tennis results, waiting around for the 6th call for the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Gilmorton and put petrol in a diesel racing green Cadillac Escalade lease car in error. She was quite agitated apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things can happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing as it was just a few miles off from us, we could find her right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away calm and a lot less anxious. One more fuel drain in Leicestershire well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel may well produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Just had a good night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a gloomy Wednesday and I was on my way to assist an older lady after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel brand new Volkswagen Jetta in Gilmorton. I'd been told she had left the filling station and stranded along a backwater lane along the way to pay a visit to her godchildren. I got her location punched in the Satnav and was with her inside an hour. I got to the stricken lady and removed the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she said to me, "I have been getting rather forgetful in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel as I had only just got it several days back because my old one, which I had had for in excess of thirty years, finally died on me". I got the drain completed and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant Leicestershire lady!

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.
