It was just after eight pm on a Monday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and me were sitting talking about the recent rugby results, at the ready for the next call for the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a woman on a business excursion who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Amcotts and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel rugged Volkswagen Jetta III rental car. The poor thing was somewhat troubled it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and that things like this happen. She had managed to get the car to a secure spot and, because it was no more than a short distance off from us, we were able to reach the woman without delay. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and not so concerned. Another misfuel correction in Lincolnshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious matter to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel can easily trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both cases fairly expediently.

Bear in mind that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely 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.
