It was after six pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Dan and me were resting there talking about the weekend's sports results, waiting for the sixth call that day to arrive. Eventually we got the call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Colton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel grey Land Rover Discovery Series II lease car by mistake. The poor thing was rather affected apparently, telling me "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things sadly happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was no more than a few miles from us, we were able to find the woman almost instantly.

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel will trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases fairly simply.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

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.
