It was after 7 pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were sitting there talking over the weekend's sports, at the ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to arrive. Before long we got a call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Walmgate Stray and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel mom's Volvo S80 lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather affected apparently, stating "I still can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that such things sadly can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected space and, since it was just a short distance from us, we were able to get to the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in North Yorkshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important condition to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel will bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both cases quite swiftly.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car North Yorkshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Walmgate Stray

I'm not actually excessively excited about doing the job on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd only just left the wife and kids filled with a wonderful lunch cooked for me by the wife, and I was on the way to help a fellow after he put the wrong fuel in his trusty Audi A7. He was located in Walmgate Stray thus I was with him soon. Just as I pulled up at the car and stepped out he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my thoughts on stuff and did not realise I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought about some problems through starting it?" I explained that there probably should not be any harm and that I would personally get the fuel drained right away for him. It goes without saying that I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and so another contented client could continue his trip without the difficulty. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is what can make operating on Sundays in North Yorkshire just that tiny bit easier for me personally!

We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and had it sorted inside one hour while she was in the office. She came out soon after and thanked us stating, "I'm very glad you fixed my car."

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.
