It was about eight pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and me were seated there commenting on the weekend's sports rankings, prepared for the 8th job that day to come in. Inevitably we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Icklingham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel cobalt blue Volkswagen Golf lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was quite troubled apparently, telling me "I still can't believe that I have messed up the car! I am so used to filling up my petrol car I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this unfortunately happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a secure spot and, as it was no more than a short distance from where we were, we could arrive at the lady rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away satisfied and less apprehensive. Yet another job in Suffolk done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is likely to result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances rather simply.

Be aware that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

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.
