She was quite distressed apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things sadly often happen.

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can trigger idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both situations rather simply.

Bear in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

This really was what we call the graveyard shift. It was about sunrise and noone was about. It had become rather uneventful up to now, and me and Ray were relaxing perusing several old magazines. It was an uncommon quiet moment in Suffolk. Actually it was that tranquil that when the telephone finally rang I jumped! The person said: "I only just finished my evening shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in my mustard yellow Saab 9-3". We got him to tell us where exactly the vehicle was and we left, arriving in Oakley under half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He thanked us for coming so quickly.

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.
