It was just after 5 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were sitting commenting on the weekend's rugby, prepared for the seventh call to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Blandford Forum and put petrol in a diesel metallic red Cadillac XLR rental car in error. She was fairly troubled it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that things like this happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is likely to cause idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both cases very quickly.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to access the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

A woman had conked out on a street, Blandford Forum having just misfueled. She was crying and really agitated as she had put £40 petrol in her diesel car. As she phoned us we made an effort to cool her as well as we could, assuring her that it would be ok. When we got to her she was no longer upset and was quite curious in observing our fuel drainer carry out the fuel drain on her canary yellow Smart Fortwo.

I appreciated a wonderful afternoon fishing during my off day and was feeling cheerful with myself the next morning as I set out to help a new family who were away in Blandford Forum. They'd broken down after adding the wrong fuel in their mustard yellow Mercedes-Benz CL-Class, and were approximately half an hour away. I emerged at their location and smirked while I heard to the gal telling her spouse off for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you conceivably be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to explain that this kind of thing takes place on daily basis in Dorset and that it's actually absolutely nothing to get worried about, nonetheless he still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate lad. In any case, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive off I mouthed good bye and wondered what her indoors would tell me if I made the very same blunder... I would never hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Blandford Forum

I am not necessarily overly enthusiastic about working on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd only just come away from home filled with a wonderful roast prepared by the missus, and I was on my way to help a guy after he had filled the incorrect petrol in his compact Hyundai HED-5. He was stationed in Blandford Forum thus I was there before long. As I pulled up at the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise God! I stupidly had my concentration on something else and failed to perceive I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I brought on some damage through running it?" I determined that there should not be any harm and that I would personally get the contaminated fuel drained quickly for him. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with the correct fuel, and thus another delighted motorist could carry on with their ride without any subsequent bother. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and that makes working on Sundays in Dorset that little less painful in my opinion!

This really was what we call the night shift. It was roughly 2:30am and hardly anyone was about. It was pretty quiet so far, and me and John were relaxing reading a number of old newspapers. That was a rare calm hour in Dorset. It was indeed so relaxing that the instant my mobile finally rang it made me start! The voice stated: "I only just concluded my evening shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in the diesel modified Toyota Sequoia". We instructed him to tell us where exactly he was located and we hit the road, reaching him in Blandford Forum under 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the engine and he thanked us profusely for arriving so fast. While we were returning to the office we noticed two girls at the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a puncture. As a result we pulled over 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.
