It was about five pm on a Monday and although we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing there commenting on the footy, waiting around for the seventh fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Hollowell and put the wrong fuel in a diesel company's Skoda rental car. The unfortunate thing was quite irritated it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things can happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to handle in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can potentially lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases rather easily.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

I got her location punched into the Satnav and was with her in less than an hour or so. I arrived at the car and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing it she explained, "I'm becoming fairly absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the vehicle working with diesel because I'd just purchased it a short while ago after my former car, which I used for in excess of thirty years, eventually gave up the ghost".

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.
