It was around ten pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing there talking over the weekend's golf rankings, at the ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to come in. Finally we got the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol station in Essendine and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel apple green BMW Z4 hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was rather irritated it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe area and, since it was only a short distance away from us, we could reach the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Although we got really wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home relaxed and not so stressed.

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can certainly cause idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases quite expediently.

Bear in mind however that if the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that 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.
