It was close to eight pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry night, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Mark and me were resting talking about the sports rankings, waiting for the seventh job for the day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Stow Bridge and filled petrol in a diesel clean white BMW 550 rental in error. She was very agitated it seemed, stating "I can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this often happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could reach the lady swiftly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and a lot less concerned. Another job in Norfolk well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can potentially bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both cases very simply.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon golfing during the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the following working day as I was en route to help a new couple away in Stow Bridge. They had pulled over after filling petrol in their modern Renault Master, and they were about half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked as I heard to the gal chastising her husband for turning out to be so daft. "Just how could you even manage to fill up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to clarify that this kind of thing happens constantly in Norfolk and that it's nothing to be concerned about, nevertheless he still had an earful. Unfortunate lad. Anyways, I cleaned up and removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some proper fuel. Watching while they drove off I waved good bye and thought about what my wife would say to me if I made the very same error... I would personally 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.
