It was close to eight pm on a Tuesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting there going over the recent footy, waiting around for the 6th call to arrive. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in South Raynham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel father's BMW 330 hire car by mistake. She was fairly irritated it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things often happen. She had managed to get the car to a protected spot and, since it was just a few minutes away from our van, we were able to find her without delay. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and less stressed. One more fuel drain in Norfolk done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel may well contribute to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases fairly simply.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be completely wet 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.
