It was about 9 pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and me were relaxing there talking over the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the next job of the day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Stock and put petrol in a diesel old Volvo C70 rental. The unfortunate thing was very affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe space and, as it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could arrive at her without delay.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is going to trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations quite swiftly.

Remember however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel in Car in CM4 Postcode - Stock Misfueling

What a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Wednesday and we were on the way to assist an elder sweetheart after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel buff Mitsubishi Expo in Stock. I'd been told she had left the filling station and was broken down along a backwater lane along the way to see her godchildren. I got her location punched into the TomTom and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm getting quite absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle working with diesel since I'd only got it a couple of days back when my previous car, which I owned for more than 25 years, finally broke down". I completed the job and she offered me a Murray mint and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant Essex lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Stock

I'm not necessarily that enthusiastic about doing the job weekends, and a couple weeks ago was no different. I'd just come away from the family following a lovely lunch prepared for us by the better half, and I was en route to deal with a gentleman after he had filled the wrong petrol in his gorgeous Fiat Bravo. He was only in Stock therefore I arrived on scene almost immediately. Just as I pulled up behind the vehicle and stepped out he said to me "Praise God! I had my mind on other stuff and didn't grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I caused some harm by simply starting it?" I revealed truth be told there shouldn't be any kind of problems and that also I'd remove the fuel at once for him. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and put in some appropriate fuel, and so one more content customer could carry on with their traveling without the hassle. The man could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is exactly what makes operating on Sundays in Essex just that small bit less painful in my opinion!

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.
