It was close to eight pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's footy, waiting for the next job for the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Upper Walthamstow and put the wrong fuel in her diesel bright red Suzuki Reno hire car in error. She was pretty troubled it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure space and, as it was only a short distance from where we were, we could find the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. Another misfuel correction in Kingston upon Thames done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel will often cause idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out when compared with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations very expediently.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged 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.
