It was before six pm on a Wednesday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Dan and I were seated going over the weekend's golf results, waiting for the seventh job of the day to arrive. Before long we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Bishop Thornton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel bright white Volkswagen GTI rental car. She was fairly affected it seemed, saying "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to fret, and also that things like this can happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure space and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from our van, we were able to arrive at the woman quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to go home to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and much less worried. A job in North Yorkshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a significant situation to handle in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol may well cause idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations fairly easily.

You should know however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Ahhh, that was a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 am on a rainy Wednesday and I was en route to assist an elder woman who had put petrol in her diesel compact Volkswagen Scirocco in Bishop Thornton. She told us that she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a backwater road on route to visit her family. I got the location plugged straight into the Satnav and was on-scene inside 60 minutes. I reached the destination and drained the wrong fuel from the car. While I was doing it she explained, "Now I'm becoming quite forgetful in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel because I'd just purchased it a week back right after my other one, which I'd had for in excess of twenty years, inevitably died on me". I finished the job and she presented me a peppermint and said thank you. What a lovely North Yorkshire 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 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.
