It was just after 8 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry day, it had not stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing discussing the weekend's football, prepared for the seventh telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we had the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Spridlington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel wife's Land Rover Range Rover rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat irritated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the time to see her drive away calm and less concerned. A job in Lincolnshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to address in an automobile - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel will result in idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both situations quite swiftly.

Be aware though that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

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.
