It was around 7 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased raining! Mark and I were resting discussing the rugby, waiting around for the 8th telephone call that day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Houlsyke and put the wrong fuel in her diesel Ferarri red Porsche 911 hire car by mistake. The poor thing was quite agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to get the car into a secure area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from our van, we could find the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to return to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and not so worried. Another misfuel correction in North Yorkshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to handle in a car - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both situations fairly simply.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

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.
