It was about 6 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were seated commenting on the tennis, prepared for the sixth call of the day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Doddshill and put the wrong fuel in a diesel winter grey Renault Twingo rental car. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things sadly do happen. She managed to move the car to a safe space and, since it was no more than a short distance from the office, we could get to the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got really soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off calm and not so concerned. One more misfuel correction in Norfolk well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant issue to address in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances fairly easily.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged 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.
