It was close to eight pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's football, prepared for the sixth call for the day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Thetford and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel sky blue Audi S8 hire car. She was rather affected it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things sadly happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure position and, since it was only a short distance from the office, we could find the customer swiftly.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will often trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both cases quite swiftly.

You should know that whenever the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely water-logged 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.
