It was around 9 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ray and me were resting going over the recent golf, ready for the sixth call that day to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Hapton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel mint green Kia Rio5 rental. She was very troubled apparently, stating "I still cannot believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to fret, plus that these things sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing as it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to get to the customer almost instantly.

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel is going to bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases rather easily.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

This was what we call the night shift. It was around 2:30 in the morning and noone was about. It had been quite dead up to now, and Mark and I were relaxing looking through some old articles. That was an unusual calm moment in Lancashire. Actually it was indeed so tranquil that when the telephone eventually rang it made me start! The voice stated: "I concluded my evening shift and incredibly poured petrol in my rugged Mercedes CLS-Class". I instructed him to inform us where he was situated and we left, ending up in Hapton under an hour or so later. The fuel was cleared from the car. He said thanks for coming out so quickly. While we were going back to the office we found two young women at the side of the street who appeared to have a flat. So we stopped and helped them change it, to their delight.

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.
