It was after 7 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were resting there commenting on the recent tennis, waiting for the 6th call that day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Standen Hall and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel bright red Honda Civic rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember that I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a secure position and, because it was only a short distance off from our van, we were able to reach her without delay. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off calm and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel will often lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

This was most definitely the night shift. It was roughly sunrise and hardly anyone was around. It was quite quiet up to now, and me and Mark were sitting looking at some old magazines. This was an uncommon peaceful hour in Lancashire. It was in fact that tranquil that the instant the telephone rang I jumped with surprise! The person explained: "I've just finished my night shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in a stylish Alfa Romeo Spider by mistake". I got him to let us know where the vehicle was and we headed out, arriving in Standen Hall no more than 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the car. He said thanks for coming so rapidly. As we were heading back to the office we found two women on the edge of the road who appeared to have a flat. So we pulled over to help them change it, much 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.
