In due time we got a call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Ashtead and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel winter grey Lexus IS-F hire car by mistake. She was fairly agitated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to fret, also that things like this often happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to deal with in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is likely to bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both cases fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car parking spot we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

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.
