It was just before 5 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were sitting there commenting on the recent golf, ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP filling station in Stonehaugh and put the wrong fuel in a diesel matte black Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class lease car in error. The unfortunate thing was pretty affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a protected spot and, since it was no more than a short distance away from us, we were able to reach her rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to go home to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive off satisfied and less stressed. A misfuel correction in Northumberland done well 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's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations fairly swiftly.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely wet 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 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.
