It was close to eight pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were sitting going over the sports, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a woman on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Larling and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dirty red Austin Mini Cooper lease car in error. She was very troubled it seemed, crying "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this unfortunately do happen. She managed to move the car to a secure space and, as it was only a short distance from the office, we could reach the lady almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could go home to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off satisfied and a lot less anxious. One more job in Norfolk well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to take care of in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both situations very swiftly.

You should know though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be completely wet 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.
