It was before six pm on a Tuesday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't given up on raining! James and me were seated there talking over the rugby results, at the ready for the sixth job to come in. Inevitably we received a call from a lovely women on a company excursion who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Stogursey and filled petrol in a diesel mom's Ford Aspire hire car by mistake. She was somewhat troubled apparently, saying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that things like this unfortunately do happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will likely result in idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with correctly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances quite quickly.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be completely water-logged and unusable.

It truly was the graveyard shift. It was close to 3am and hardly anyone was about. It had been fairly dead thus far, and Ryan and I were sitting around looking through some old magazines. It was a rare peaceful time in Somerset. It was in fact that relaxing that the moment the telephone ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The voice on the phone stated: "I just completed my evening shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel metallic red Mitsubishi Montero". I instructed him to tell us exactly where the car was situated and we headed out, reaching him in Stogursey an hour later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the engine.

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.
