Eventually we received the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling garage in Dowsby and put the wrong fuel in a diesel pristine Nissan Cube rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather troubled it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe I've messed up the vehicle!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually a serious issue to address in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will cause idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances rather quickly.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally water-logged and useless.

Have an old fuel container in the rear of the garden full of old, useless or contaminated fuel? We're able to assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in Lincolnshire to deal with taking away and disposing of fuel storages.

Wrong Fuel Assist Dowsby - Wrong Fuel in Car Dowsby

I had enjoyed a terrific evening golfing on my holiday and felt satisfied with myself the following day as I set out to help a young family who were vacationing in Dowsby. They'd broken down after filling diesel in their buff Chevrolet Suburban, and they were approximately half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their car and smirked while I heard to the wife telling her man off for being so daft. "How could you possibly manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she told him. I attempted to clarify that this situation takes place constantly in Lincolnshire and that it's actually absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he yet still got an earful by his wife. I felt sorry for the boy. Anyways, I extracted the polluted fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the appropriate fuel. Watching them drive away I waved hasta la vista and considered what my missus would tell me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

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.
