It was before 6 pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were sitting there going over the football, prepared for the seventh job for the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Beaulieu Wood and put petrol in a diesel deep grey Audi A7 rental in error. She was fairly agitated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this regrettably can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to arrive at the customer quickly.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to address in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can certainly trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both circumstances quite expediently.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

We have been called out to quite a few domestic and commercial premises in Dorset for the purpose of taking away and recycling fuel storages.

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.
