It was after five pm on a Friday and while we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! James and me were sitting talking about the rugby results, prepared for the sixth telephone call that day to come in. Finally we got a call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Theddlethorpe All Saints and put the wrong fuel in a diesel mustard yellow BMW M3 rental car. The unfortunate lady was somewhat distressed it seemed, stating "I still can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" We advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the car into a safe area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from the office, we could get to her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could get back to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact that we got really wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home calm and not so worried. A misfuel correction in Lincolnshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank will trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases pretty simply.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be completely wet and useless.

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.
