It was about 10 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! James and I were resting there commenting on the golf, ready for the seventh call that day to arrive. Before long we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Chedington and put the wrong fuel in her diesel white Ford Focus rental by mistake. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a protected space and, because it was no more than a short distance off from where we were, we could arrive at the customer fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off relaxed and less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Dorset well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both circumstances quite swiftly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Chedington

Now I'm not necessarily so hot for doing work weekends, and the other day was no different. I'd only just departed home filled with a fantastic dinner made for us by the wife, and I was on my way to assist a fellow who filled the incorrect petrol in his dark red Austin Mini Cooper S. He was located in Chedington hence I arrived with him soon. As I drove up behind the vehicle and started work he said to me "Thank God! I stupidly had my concentration on other considerations and failed to realise I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought on any harm because of running it?" I explained truth be told there should not be problems and also that I would remove the fuel immediately for him. As expected I removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in some suitable fuel, and then another delighted customer could continue his ride without any fuss. He could not stop thanking me, and this is actually what makes earning a living on Sundays in Dorset a little easier for me!

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.
