It was before 7 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting there discussing the weekend's tennis, prepared for the sixth call to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Hinton-in-the-Hedges and put the wrong fuel in a diesel apricot Subaru Impreza lease car in error. She was very irritated by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected area and, since it was only a few minutes from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home contented and a lot less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Northamptonshire done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to address in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel is likely to result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty expediently.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

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.
