It was around 9 pm on a Wednesday and while we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were seated there talking over the tennis rankings, prepared for the 6th telephone call to arrive. In due time we got the call from a lovely women on a company trip who had gone to the Esso filling station in Wallingford and filled petrol in a diesel mustard yellow Hyundai Entourage rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated it seemed, crying "I cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing as it was just a short distance from us, we were able to arrive at her almost instantly. The bad fuel was taken out so she could go home to the motel she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home contented and less anxious.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases rather easily.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly 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.
