It was after 7 pm on a Tuesday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! Dan and I were relaxing talking about the recent tennis, at the ready for the seventh telephone call to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol station in Waterend and put the wrong fuel in a diesel boss' Cadillac XLR-V lease car in error. The poor thing was very troubled apparently, telling me "I still can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, since it was just a few minutes off from us, we could arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home relaxed and less anxious. Yet another job in Gloucestershire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can potentially contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both cases rather easily.

Remember that if the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Waterend - Wrong Fuel in Car Waterend

I'd had a terrific day golfing during the weekend and was feeling delighted with myself the following working day as I was en route to help a new family who were on holiday in Waterend. They conked out after putting diesel into their mom's Volvo V50, and the car was roughly an hour away. I showed up at their car and smirked to myself as I heard to the lady telling off her hubby for being so stupid. "How could you even find a way to fill the car up with the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this goes on continuously in Gloucestershire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, and yet he all the same got an earful. Poor chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave them some right fuel. As they drove down the road I waved goodbye and wondered what my wife would tell me if perhaps I made the same error... I would personally under no circumstances live it down!

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.
