It was around 10 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and me were sitting talking about the weekend's footy results, waiting for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we received a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Laund and put petrol in her diesel metallic blue Alfa Romeo164 rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather affected apparently, stating "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, and also that these things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe position and, seeing that it was just a short distance from us, we could get to her without delay. The contaminated fuel was removed so she was able to go home to the motel she was living in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and less worried. Another job in Lancashire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to handle in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can easily cause idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances pretty simply.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably 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.
