It was after eight pm on a Thursday and while we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and me were seated talking about the tennis rankings, ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we got the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell filling station in Triscombe and put the wrong fuel in her diesel brother's VW Passat lease car. She was rather irritated it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I have ruined the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had did not remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing that it was only a few miles off from our van, we could reach her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the motel she was lodging in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and not so stressed. One more fuel drain in Somerset well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question a serious issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is likely to result in idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases quite quickly.

Take note that if the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be totally 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.
