It was just before five pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not stopped raining! Dan and I were sitting there commenting on the recent rugby results, prepared for the next call to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol garage in Columbia and put the wrong fuel in her diesel dad's Ford Focus ST rental in error. The unfortunate lady was somewhat agitated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that these things happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from us, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and much less anxious. Yet another job in Tyne and Wear done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually an important issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is going to contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases rather quickly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in NE38 Postcode - Columbia Misfueling

A woman had broken down on a road, Columbia having just put petrol in her diesel car. She was in tears and fairly distressed as she had put £55 of petrol in her diesel car. When she contacted us we attempted to sooth her as best we could, assuring her that everything would be ok. When we got to her she was not aggrieved any more and was really interested in watching our engineer do the fuel drain on her cobalt blue Mercedes Sprinter 3500. Later she said: "My vehicle is like my baby, I recently bought it and it really concerned me that I had put so much wrong fuel in it. I'm terribly glad that it was easily repairable."

Wrong Fuel in Car Tyne and Wear - Petrol in Diesel Car Columbia

It's no fun grinding to a halt in a automobile contaminated with the incorrect fuel in the middle of the street. Our last customer who filled her car with the incorrect fuel (bright red Kia Rio) in Columbia suffered with exactly this issue: "Obviously I erroneously put petrol in my diesel car . I was so bothered about my mistake that I was in tears. And yet I didn't need to worry seeing as you were outstanding in resolving my problem."

This really was what is called an unsociable time to be up. It was around dawn and noone was around. It had become fairly uneventful so far, and me and Paul were relaxing looking at some old magazines. That was an uncommon restful moment in Tyne and Wear. It was indeed that calm that when the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The motorist told me: "I've ended my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in my dad's Dodge Challenger". We got him to inform us exactly where the vehicle was situated and we headed out, arriving in Columbia not as much as 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he thanked us profusely for showing up so rapidly. While we were going back to the office we saw two girls on the edge of the street who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over and helped them change it, much to their delight.

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.
