It was just before 9 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated there commenting on the sports, at the ready for the next call of the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Ugthorpe and put petrol in a diesel bright yellow Mitsubishi Endeavor rental car. She was rather distressed it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was just a short distance from the office, we could reach the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in North Yorkshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel is likely to result in idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases rather simply.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

I am certainly not so interested in carrying out work Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had just departed the family following a lovely Sunday roast prepared by the better half, and I was on the way to help a man because he put the incorrect fuel in his spotless BMW M6. He was somewhere in Ugthorpe thus it wouldn't be long before I reached him. Just as I arrived behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on other things and failed to realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on any kind of problems because of starting it?" I determined that there shouldn't be any kind of harm and also I would get the wrong fuel drained quickly. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the suitable fuel, and thus another delighted customer had the ability to carry on with their journey without the bother. The man couldn't stop saying thanks to me, and this is what makes carrying out work on Sundays in North Yorkshire just a small bit better for me!

This was certainly what we call the night shift. It was close to 3am and almost noone was around. It had been pretty quiet so far, and me and Mark were loafing reading a number of old magazines. That was an uncommon quiet time in North Yorkshire. Actually it was so tranquil that when the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The motorist on the other end told me: "I finished my overnight shift and stupidly put the wrong fuel in a white Peugeot by mistake". I told him to tell us exactly where the car was and we set off, reaching him in Ugthorpe under half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the car. He thanked us profusely for coming out so rapidly. As we were returning home we saw two women on the edge of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. So we pulled up and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
