It was before 10 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and I were relaxing there talking about the sports, waiting for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling station in South Killingholme and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel white BMW 530 hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and also that such things do happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a secure position and, because it was just a short distance from us, we could find her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could go home to the motel she was living in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and not so anxious. Another job in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may well produce idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases fairly simply.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be totally water-logged 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.
