It was after 6 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and me were sitting there talking about the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the next call that day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Furtho and filled petrol in a diesel mint green Daewoo Leganza lease car. The poor thing was somewhat distressed apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, and also that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was just a few minutes from where we were, we could find the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the time to see her drive away calm and a lot less concerned. A job in Northamptonshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can potentially lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases rather swiftly.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged 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 VAT 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.
