It was close to 6 pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Paul and I were relaxing talking over the tennis results, ready for the next telephone call that day to come in. Before long we got the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Gimingham and filled petrol in a diesel old Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 lease car in error. She was rather troubled it seemed, crying "I can not believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately can happen.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to take care of in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is going to bring about idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations pretty easily.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

I had a fantastic day cycling on the weekend and felt delighted the following working day as I headed out to help a young couple vacationing in Gimingham. They conked out after filling diesel in their customised Mitsubishi Precis, and the car was close to an hour away. I turned up at their location and laughed while I heard to the gal telling her man off for turning out to be so foolish. "Just how could you actually be able to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this situation comes to pass all the time in Norfolk and that it's in reality nothing at all to be anxious about, nevertheless he all the same got an ear bashing by his wife. Poor lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. As they drove away I waved hasta la vista and pondered on what my missus would ask me in the event that I made the exact same error... I'd never live it down!

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.
