It was just before six pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! Mark and me were resting there talking about the weekend's football rankings, prepared for the next job that day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol garage in Heacham and put the wrong fuel in her diesel mum's Volvo XC70 rental. The poor thing was pretty affected apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe area and, because it was just a few miles off from us, we were able to get to her quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could go home to the Travelodge she was staying in. Even though we got very drenched, it was all worth the time to see her drive off contented and much less apprehensive. Another job in Norfolk done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel is likely to result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations pretty expediently.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

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.
