It was around 8 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Dan and I were resting there talking about the tennis results, at the ready for the next job of the day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a girl on a business trip who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Brookpits and filled petrol in a diesel beautiful Mercedes SL-Class hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She had managed to get the car into a safe space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles from us, we could reach the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could get back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive away contented and much less stressed. A misfuel correction in West Sussex well done in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a significant issue to handle in an automobile - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may well result in idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be totally 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.
