In due time we received a call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Burchetts Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel sombre grey Peugeot 107 rental car. She was rather distressed it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that these things often happen.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important situation to address in a vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will often lead to idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances pretty swiftly.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will be completely wet and unusable.

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 on a warm Tuesday and I was en route to assist an older lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel Ferarri red Volvo240 in Burchetts Green. She told us that she had left the filling station and was pulled up along a country road on route to visit her family. I plugged her location into the Satnav and got there inside 60 minutes. I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the wrong fuel from the car. Whilst I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel because I'd just acquired it several days back when my former car, which I had for in excess of twenty five years, inevitably died". I finished the job and she gifted me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a delightful Berkshire lady!

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.
