Finally we received a call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Englishcombe and put the wrong fuel in a diesel bright yellow Mitsubishi Outlander rental by mistake. She was pretty agitated by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!"

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can certainly contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances pretty quickly.

Bear in mind though that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly 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 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.
