It was about six pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were relaxing going over the weekend's sports results, waiting around for the next call that day to come in. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Kingswood and put the wrong fuel in a diesel green Skoda Citigo hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was very distressed it seemed, stating "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a protected space and, since it was only a few miles off from us, we could reach the customer fairly quickly.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have an old fuel reservoir lying at the rear of your garden with aged, useless or degraded fuel? We could help you to dispose of it. We've been called out to several domestic and business properties in East Riding of Yorkshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to get rid of and dispose of waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few drums in an outbuilding, assuming that we are able to access it, we are able to drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious situation to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can certainly trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances rather simply.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

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 VAT 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.
