It was just before six pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and I were resting there discussing the football results, ready for the 6th call to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Holford and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel bright white Mercedes E-Class rental car. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that these things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected space and, as it was only a few minutes from where we were, we could find her swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive home relaxed and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in Somerset done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to address in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is going to lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both situations fairly expediently.

Be aware though that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will 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 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.
