It was after 10 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were promised a dry night, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated discussing the weekend's golf, ready for the seventh fuel drain to come in. Before long we got the call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Wash Common and filled petrol in a diesel bright red Volkswagen Golf lease car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled apparently, saying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this regrettably often happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a secure spot and, as it was no more than a few miles from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could return to the motel she was staying in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and not so concerned. A fuel drain in Berkshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel may lead to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both cases fairly simply.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Wash Common - Wrong Fuel in Car Wash Common

I had enjoyed a terrific afternoon cycling during my holiday and felt pleased the next day as I set out to aid a young couple who were on holiday in Wash Common. They pulled over after adding petrol in their creamy white Cadillac SRX, and the car was around half an hour away. I turned up at their car and smirked to myself as I listened to the gal telling her spouse off for actually being so foolish. "Just how could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to explain that this situation comes to pass frequently in Berkshire and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed farewell and considered what her indoors would say to me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
