It was just after ten pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Mark and I were seated going over the weekend's golf rankings, prepared for the sixth telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Felton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel creamy white Mercedes Sprinter hire car in error. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and also that these things often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a safe space and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes away from where we were, we could get to the woman fairly quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she could return to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive home contented and less worried. Another misfuel correction in Somerset done well in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can easily lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both cases rather quickly.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

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.
