It was just after seven pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated discussing the sports results, waiting for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Brighton le Sands and put petrol in a diesel red Chevrolet Cavalier lease car by mistake. She was fairly distressed apparently, saying "I cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from our van, we could get to the woman swiftly. The wrong fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was residing in. Even though we got very wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home satisfied and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another job in Merseyside well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to address in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel will likely produce idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to solve both cases fairly quickly.

Bear in mind though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

I completed the drain and she gave me a peppermint and said thanks. Such a lovely Merseyside lady!

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 VAT 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.
