It was just after 6 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing there talking about the footy rankings, waiting around for the sixth call that day to arrive. Before long we got the call from a girl on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Whitehouse Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel cream Mitsubishi Expo hire car in error. She was pretty troubled apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately happen. She was able to relocate the car into a protected position and, since it was just a few miles away from where we were, we were able to reach the woman swiftly.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to address in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can easily bring about idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases rather swiftly.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

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.
