It was just after six pm on a Thursday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's football rankings, prepared for the 6th job to come in. Finally we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Upper Affcot and filled petrol in her diesel rust red Jeep Commander rental. She was very agitated it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the hotel she was living at. Although we got extremely drenched, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home contented and much less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Shropshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel is likely to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both circumstances very expediently.

Be aware however that if the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

What a great night's sleep! 7:00 on a sunny Tuesday and I was en route to assist an older lovely lady after she put petrol in her diesel bright red MINI Countryman in Upper Affcot. I'd been informed she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and pulled up on a rural road on route to pay a visit to her grandchildren. I popped her location straight into the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour. I got to the location and drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle. As I was doing it she told me, "I'm becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and did not remember about the car working with diesel since I'd just acquired it a few days back after my old one, which I had owned for in excess of twenty years, eventually gave up the ghost". I got the job completed and she gave me a Murray mint and said thanks. What a precious Shropshire 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 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.
