It was before 5 pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not stopped pouring! Dan and I were seated commenting on the weekend's footy results, ready for the 6th call that day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell filling garage in Coxford and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel canary yellow Smart Car hire car. The poor lady was fairly troubled apparently, crying "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, as it was just a short distance off from our van, we could find the customer right away. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off calm and less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Norfolk done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel may contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances pretty simply.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will be totally 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.
