It was after six pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Paul and me were relaxing there discussing the weekend's sports rankings, waiting around for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell filling station in Dagdale and put the wrong fuel in her diesel mum's Lexus RX rental car. She was rather distressed apparently, stating "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the car into a protected space and, seeing that it was only a short distance away from the office, we could find the lady right away. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging at.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to deal with in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will likely bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both cases pretty easily.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet 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 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.
