It was before 6 pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were seated talking over the recent footy results, waiting for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Harvington and filled petrol in a diesel metallic green Skoda Octavia rental car. She was very troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things regrettably often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a secure space and, as it was just a short distance from our van, we could reach the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could get back to the hotel she was residing in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and much less worried. Yet another misfuel correction in Worcestershire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important matter to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can potentially produce idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases pretty quickly.

You should know though that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Now I'm not that excited about working on Sundays, and the other day was no different. I had only just come away from the wife and kids filled with a fantastic roast made by the better half, and I was en route to sort out a gentleman because he filled the incorrect fuel in his blue Fiat Multipla. He was stationed in Harvington thus I was there before long. As I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I incredibly had my attention on other things and failed to ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I inflicted any damage as a result of starting it?" I explained generally there probably should not be damage and also that I'd personally remove the wrong fuel right away for him. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled it with some correct fuel, and yet another contented motorist was able to carry on with their trip without the difficulty. He couldn't stop thanking me, and that is what tends to make operating on Sundays in Worcestershire a little better in my opinion!

This was the graveyard shift. It was about 2:30am and nobody was stirring. It had become fairly dead thus far, and me and Mark were relaxing perusing some old magazines. This was a rare quiet time in Worcestershire. Actually it was in fact that quiet that the moment the telephone eventually rang it made me jump! The person stated: "I have completed my evening shift and incredibly put petrol in my diesel matte black Suzuki Vitara". We instructed him to inform us exactly where the vehicle was and we left, reaching him in Harvington no more than half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle and he thanked us for coming so quickly. While we were returning to the depot we noticed two young women at the edge of the highway who seemed to have a puncture. As a result we got out to change it, to their elation.

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.
