It was after seven pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated talking over the recent golf rankings, waiting around for the 8th call that day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Fownhope and put petrol in her diesel new-shape VW Beetle lease car by mistake. The poor thing was quite affected apparently, saying "I simply can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things do happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to deal with in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can potentially lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances very swiftly.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will 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.
