It was close to ten pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were sitting talking over the rugby results, ready for the next telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Tarrant Launceston and filled petrol in her diesel matte black VW Touareg lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite distressed it seemed, telling me "I can not believe I've ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had forgot I was using a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things often happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a safe space and, since it was no more than a short distance off from our van, we were able to find her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive off calm and a lot less apprehensive. One more misfuel correction in Dorset well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel may well trigger idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations pretty easily.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Removal

We've been called out to a number of private and business properties in Dorset for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Tarrant Launceston

I am not necessarily too keen on doing the job weekends, and a week ago was the same. I had just left the family after a superb dinner prepared by the missus, and I was off to help a guy who had filled the wrong fuel in his baby blue Jaguar XJ Series. He was only in Tarrant Launceston hence I was with him rapidly. Just as I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I foolishly had my mind on stuff and did not perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it likely I caused any problems by simply running it?" I determined that there probably should not be harm and that also I'd get the fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. Naturally I got the fuel drained from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and so one more delighted customer was able to continue his trip without fuss. He could not stop saying thanks to me, and this helps make earning a living on Sundays in Dorset that tiny bit less painful for me personally!

A young lady living in Tarrant Launceston called us after she tried to get her misfueled vehicle to the office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel green Chevrolet Caprice and, like countless before her, imagined that she could basically top up her vehicle with diesel and it would be fine. The vehicle was spluttering and then it cut out when she came to the entrance of her work. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain after she called and got it sorted inside an hour while she was at the office. She came outside later on and thanked us saying, "I'm really glad you sorted my car."

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.
