It was about 9 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated there discussing the tennis, at the ready for the 8th telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Moulton Chapel and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel super BMW M6 lease car by mistake. She was pretty troubled apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that things like this often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing as it was only a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive home satisfied and much less worried. A misfuel correction in Lincolnshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will often produce idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both cases fairly easily.

Bear in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

This really was what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was close to sunrise and noone was around. It was rather dead thus far, and John and I were loafing reading through a couple of old papers. This was an uncommon quiet time in Lincolnshire. Actually it was that peaceful that when the telephone rang it made me start! The voice said: "I only just finished my evening shift and foolishly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel brother's Audi A4". We got him to inform us where exactly he was situated and we headed out, ending up in Moulton Chapel an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the vehicle. He thanked us for arriving so rapidly. As we were returning to the office we saw two women at the side of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. As a result we stopped 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.
