It was close to 8 pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were resting commenting on the weekend's footy, waiting for the 6th call to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP petrol station in Bratton Seymour and filled petrol in her diesel work's MINI Cooper Countryman hire car in error. The poor thing was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this can happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure spot and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from us, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she was able to return to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding seeing her drive home satisfied and less concerned. One more job in Somerset well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to handle in an automobile - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank can easily lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both situations fairly simply.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will be totally 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.
