It was after 9 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were relaxing there discussing the golf results, prepared for the sixth job of the day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Dunston and filled petrol in a diesel dark red Renault Clio rental in error. The unfortunate lady was rather affected it seemed, stating "I cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected space and, as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we could find the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could return to the hotel she was lodging at.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be an important matter to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel may well cause idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases pretty easily.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

I got the location punched in the Satnav and was with her within an hour. I turned up at the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel in the car car. While I was doing the work she said, "I am getting fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I had only acquired it a week back right after my previous car, which I had had for more than twenty five years, finally died on me".

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.
