It was just after 9 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were relaxing discussing the rugby, waiting around for the 6th job of the day to come in. Eventually we got a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Ashley and filled petrol in a diesel brand new VW Beetle rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat irritated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the car! I am just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a safe area and, as it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to reach her without delay.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to handle in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can certainly cause idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases rather easily.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

We've been called out to numerous private and commercial premises in Dorset to take care of draining and disposing of fuel storages.

A gentleman had conked out near a road in Ashley. His shiny Audi S8 engine had ceased functioning and he'd no clue what was faulty right up until he realised he put unleaded in his diesel car.

He said that he had got very little sleep the day before and that must have been the key reason why.

This was exactly what is called the graveyard shift. It was roughly 2 in the morning and nobody was around. It was quite dead until now, and John and I were sitting about perusing a few old articles. This was a rare tranquil hour in Dorset. It was in fact that quiet that the moment the telephone finally rang I jumped! The customer on the opposite end stated: "I have just ended my overnight shift and stupidly poured petrol in my diesel brother's Peugeot 406 in error". We got him to let us know where the car was and we left, reaching him in Ashley under 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned from the vehicle. He said many thanks for getting there so rapidly. As we were going back to base we spotted two girls at the edge of the street who appeared to have a puncture. Accordingly we pulled up to change it, much to their delight.

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 VA 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.
