It was just after six pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated there going over the weekend's golf, ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we had a phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Greenham and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel cream Volvo740 lease car. She was quite distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from us, we could arrive at the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could return to the motel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and not so anxious. A misfuel correction in Somerset well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to handle in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations rather quickly.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be thoroughly 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.
