It was close to 9 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! Brian and I were seated there talking over the weekend's golf rankings, ready for the 6th call to arrive. Before long we received a call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco petrol garage in Thornham Fold and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel mint green Land Rover Range Rover Evoque lease car. She was very troubled it seemed, stating "I still can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She managed to get the vehicle to a secure space and, because it was no more than a short distance away from us, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted and she was able to get back to the motel she was residing at.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to deal with in an automobile - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can potentially trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations quite expediently.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be totally wet and unusable.

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 VA 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.
