It was close to 9 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't ceased raining! Ryan and I were resting commenting on the tennis rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Before long we got the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Greenford and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel daughter's Peugeot Expert rental car. She was somewhat distressed apparently, stating "I can not believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so used to putting petrol in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things can happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was just a short distance off from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly.

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is likely to bring about idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both situations pretty expediently.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel.

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.
