It was just before eight pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and me were resting talking about the tennis results, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling station in Clay Coton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel burgundy red Kia Rio5 lease car. The poor lady was fairly troubled it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that these things do happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe spot and, seeing as it was just a few miles from our van, we were able to get to the customer without delay. The wrong fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away relaxed and not so apprehensive.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will often trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both cases rather quickly.

Take note however that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

This was most definitely what we call the graveyard shift. It was close to 3am and noone was stirring. It had become quite quiet until now, and John and I were loafing around reading a couple of old magazines. It was an unusual tranquil time in Northamptonshire. It was indeed so calm that the instant the telephone ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The voice on the other end told me: "I have ended my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in the diesel son's Seat Mii by mistake". I instructed him to tell us where exactly he was situated and we headed out, ending up in Clay Coton under 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was removed from the motor. He said thanks for coming out so quickly. As we were returning to the office we found two girls on the edge of the street who looked like they had a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over to change it, much to their elation.

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 VAT 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.
