It was about 8 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! Mark and I were sitting talking about the weekend's sports results, waiting around for the 8th call of the day to arrive. Eventually we had a call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had gone to the BP filling garage in Rotherhithe and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel burgundy red Volkswagen Touareg 2 rental car in error. The poor lady was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, since it was just a few minutes from the office, we could reach her fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was extracted and she could go home to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive away contented and much less worried. A fuel drain in Southwark well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can certainly contribute to idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases rather quickly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

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.
