It was just before 8 pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on pouring! Paul and I were seated discussing the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain for the day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Blackfords and filled petrol in a diesel yellow Peugeot 206 lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated apparently, crying "I cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to move the car into a secure position and, because it was only a few miles away from us, we could get to the lady fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted so she could return to the hotel she was lodging in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive off calm and a lot less concerned. A job in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to handle in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel will often contribute to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to take care of both situations fairly simply.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged 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 VAT 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.
