It was close to 10 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it had not stopped raining! Paul and me were relaxing there commenting on the recent golf, ready for the next job that day to arrive. Inevitably we got a phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Haresfield and put the wrong fuel in her diesel navy blue BMW 750 rental by mistake. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things sadly can happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to address in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel can certainly bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases rather easily.

You should know that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be totally 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.
