It was before 5 pm on a Thursday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were resting commenting on the weekend's football results, waiting around for the 6th telephone call to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in High Cross and filled petrol in her diesel black Toyota Sienna lease car in error. The poor lady was quite agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to be concerned, and that these things can happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected position and, as it was just a few miles off from us, we were able to find her swiftly.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to take care of in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will often bring about idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not remedied properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both circumstances very simply.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be totally water-logged 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 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.
