It was close to 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ray and I were sitting talking over the recent sports results, waiting around for the next job of the day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Wellisford and filled petrol in her diesel friend's Porsche Cayman hire car by mistake. She was somewhat agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that things like this sadly happen. She was able to move the car into a protected area and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady without delay.

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Bear in mind that if the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

This was most definitely what we call the night shift. It was about 3am and noone was stirring. It had been pretty uneventful until now, and Brian and I were sitting reading through some old magazines. This was an uncommon peaceful hour in Somerset. It was indeed that quiet that the instant the telephone ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The person on the other end said: "I've concluded my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in the metallic red BMW M". We asked him to tell us just where the vehicle was located and we set off, getting to him in Wellisford not as much as 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleared from the car. He said thanks a lot for arriving so quickly. While we were going back to the depot we noticed two young ladies on the edge of the road who looked like they had a puncture. Accordingly we pulled up and helped them change it, to their delight.

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.
