It was around 9 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were resting talking over the recent football rankings, ready for the 8th job for the day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Tesco petrol station in Dean and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic red Kia Sorento rental in error. The poor thing was rather irritated apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, also that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected space and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we could reach the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was staying at. Despite the fact we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away contented and much less anxious. A job in Dorset well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel may cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can resolve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Dean

I'm not so interested in running on weekends, and a while back was no different. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids after having a lovely dinner made by the wife, and I was en route to assist a gentleman because he filled the incorrect fuel in his brother's Kia Sorento. He was located in Dean so it wouldn't be long before I got to him. As I drove up at the car and started work he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I had my mind on other stuff and did not realise I've put diesel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any kind of problems by starting it?" I stated truth be told there probably should not be any kind of harm and also I would remove the contaminated fuel right away. As expected I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in some correct fuel, and one more content motorist had the ability to continue on his trip without the need for bother. The gentleman could not stop thanking me, and that can make carrying out work on weekends in Dorset just that small bit less painful for me personally!

This was certainly an unsociable time to be awake. It was roughly dawn and hardly anyone was stirring. It was pretty uneventful thus far, and me and Mark were loafing browsing a couple of old articles. This was an unusual calm hour in Dorset. It was so tranquil that when the phone ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The voice told me: "I've only just finished my overnight shift and stupidly filled petrol in my Ferarri red Jeep Wrangler in error". I asked him to inform us where exactly he was located and we hit the road, getting to him in Dean less than an hour later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the motor. He thanked us profusely for showing up so rapidly. As we were heading back to the depot we noticed two women at the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat. As a result we stopped and helped them 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.
