It was just after five pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were resting talking about the tennis rankings, ready for the next job for the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling garage in Kennington and put petrol in her diesel son's Toyota Highlander lease car in error. The poor thing was fairly distressed apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that these things sadly happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to find the customer without delay. The bad fuel was extracted so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home relaxed and not so apprehensive. A misfuel correction in Oxfordshire done well in my books!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to deal with in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel may produce idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations quite swiftly.

You should know however that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that 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.
