It was around six pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining!

Finally we had a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Dunham on Trent and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel mint condition BMW Z4 lease car. She was fairly irritated apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this regrettably happen.

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to handle in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can easily produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations very simply.

Remember though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

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.
