It was after six pm on a Friday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were resting there discussing the recent footy, waiting for the 8th job of the day to arrive. Inevitably we had the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Waddington and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel son's Mazda RX-8 rental car. She was fairly agitated it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, plus that such things sadly happen. She had managed to get the car into a protected spot and, because it was only a short distance off from the office, we could find the woman almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got really soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive away calm and less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases fairly expediently.

Keep in mind though that if the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

Waste Fuel Removal

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.
