It was just before 8 pm on a Wednesday and while we were assured a dry day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and me were seated there talking about the recent tennis rankings, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Mardens Hill and put the wrong fuel in her diesel black Mitsubishi Excel rental car. The unfortunate lady was quite affected it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe that I've messed up the car! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things regrettably do 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 situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank can potentially produce idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases fairly expediently.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

We've been called out to several privately owned and commercial premises in East Sussex to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel in Car in TN6 Postcode - Mardens Hill Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! It was 7:00 on a bright Wednesday and we were off to help an old lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel blue Volkswagen Golf in Mardens Hill. I had been told she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up along a rural lane along the way to see her godchildren. I plugged the location straight into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour. I got to the car and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "I have been becoming fairly absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the car needing diesel seeing that I'd only purchased it a week back when my former car, which I had had for more than twenty five years, finally broke down". I finished the drain and she presented me a toffee and said thanks a lot. Such a precious East Sussex lady!

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.
