It was before six pm on a Thursday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and me were relaxing commenting on the tennis rankings, waiting for the 6th call that day to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Harvel and filled petrol in her diesel burgundy red Honda CR-Z hire car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely forgot I was operating a diesel!"

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel is going to trigger idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances quite quickly.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:30 in the morning on a bright Wednesday and I was on my way to help an old woman after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel deep grey Chevrolet Corsica in Harvel. I had been informed she drove away from the petrol station forecourt and was pulled up along a rural lane on route to see her family. I got her location plugged into the Satnav and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and removed the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing the drain she said to me, "I am getting somewhat forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car using diesel because I had only got it a short while back because my other one, which I had for in excess of twenty years, eventually broke down". I completed the drain and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Newham lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Harvel

Now I am certainly not that interested in running Sundays, and last week was no different. I had only just left home following a superb dinner cooked by the missus, and I was en route to sort out a guy because he put the wrong fuel in his racing green Kia Spectra. He was situated in Harvel thus I was on scene quickly. Just as I drove up at the rear of the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank God! I had my thoughts on stuff and did not realise I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Have I created any kind of damage by simply driving it?" I determined that generally there probably should not be any kind of harm and that also I'd get the contaminated fuel drained immediately. Naturally I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some suitable fuel, and then yet another happy customer could carry on with their journey without the difficulty. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what helps make operating on weekends in Newham just a tiny bit better for me!

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.
