It was close to ten pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless day, it had not given up on raining! Paul and me were resting talking over the weekend's rugby rankings, waiting around for the 8th job of the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Rowly and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel beautiful Cadillac XLR hire car in error. The poor thing was somewhat troubled apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, and also that these things can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we could find the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all rewarding to see her drive away calm and less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Surrey done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can result in idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases quite simply.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

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
