It was just after 9 pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and me were seated talking over the recent football, prepared for the 8th call for the day to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Gaunts Earthcott and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel dark blue Peugeot 306 lease car in error. She was fairly irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe I've messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, and that these things sadly happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a safe area and, because it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to find her quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive off calm and much less apprehensive. Another fuel drain in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can certainly cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly easily.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

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.
