It was after ten pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and me were seated there talking over the weekend's sports rankings, at the ready for the next job that day to come in. Before long we received the call from a girl on a business excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling garage in Addlestone and put petrol in a diesel metallic yellow Skoda Citigo hire car by mistake. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I've messed up the car!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not remedied effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases rather expediently.

Take note though that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will 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.
