It was before five pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and me were seated there talking about the weekend's football results, waiting around for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Langho and put petrol in her diesel Ferarri red Ford C-MAX Hybrid lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat agitated it seemed, telling me "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, seeing that it was only a few minutes from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady fairly quickly.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can certainly result in idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances pretty quickly.

Take note however that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly 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 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.
