It was just after 6 pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated there commenting on the football rankings, at the ready for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a woman on a business trip who had gone to the BP filling station in Heath House and put the wrong fuel in her diesel khaki green Suzuki Grand Vitara rental by mistake. She was fairly affected apparently, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was only a few minutes away from the office, we were able to reach her without delay.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank may produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations rather swiftly.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Heath House - Wrong Fuel in Car Heath House

I had a perfect day fishing on the weekend and was feeling pleased with myself the following morning as I headed out to assist a young family on holiday in Heath House. They had conked out after putting diesel into their dad's Volkswagen Fox, and they were approximately half an hour's drive away. I turned up at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the lady telling her man off for being so daft. "Just how could you actually find a way to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this situation takes place constantly in Somerset and that it is nothing to be anxious about, nevertheless he yet still got an earful. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I extracted the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I waved goodbye and thought about what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I made the very same error... I would personally never live it down!

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.
