It was around eight pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were relaxing there talking about the recent footy, waiting for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Docking and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel beautiful Range Rover Evoque rental. The poor lady was somewhat irritated it seemed, crying "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things often happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles off from where we were, we could get to her almost instantly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away satisfied and not so anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Norfolk well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to take care of in a vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will likely result in idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases pretty quickly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

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.
