It was before five pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Dan and I were relaxing going over the recent football rankings, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Finally we got a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Maidens Hall and filled petrol in a diesel uncle's Land Rover Discovery Series II hire car by mistake. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I've messed up the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to worry, and that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a secure space and, because it was just a short distance off from the office, we could get to the lady almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was living at.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to deal with in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances very swiftly.

Remember that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

What a great night's sleep! 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Tuesday and we were en route to help an older lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel super Isuzu Amigo in Maidens Hall. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was pulled up on a backwater lane on the way to see her family. I got her location punched into the Satnav and got there inside 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and drained the contaminated fuel out of the car. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car taking diesel seeing that I'd just purchased it a week ago when my other one, which I'd had for over twenty years, eventually stopped working". I finished the job and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a pleasant Northumberland woman!

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.
