It was before eight pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ryan and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's tennis rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call to arrive. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in West Flodden and filled petrol in a diesel compact Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 rental. She was somewhat agitated apparently, stating "I still cannot believe I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things sadly often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a safe area and, since it was only a short distance from our van, we could arrive at the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Despite the fact we got really wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off relaxed and a lot less worried. Another fuel drain in Northumberland done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to handle in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases pretty quickly.

Take note that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be completely water-logged and useless.

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.
