It was after 10 pm on a Wednesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Paul and I were relaxing discussing the recent footy, ready for the next fuel drain that day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Hawstead Green and put the wrong fuel in a diesel light green MINI Cooper Countryman hire car. The poor thing was very irritated by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, and that these things regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a protected area and, since it was only a short distance off from us, we could reach the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away satisfied and less concerned. One more fuel drain in Suffolk well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to take care of in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can easily bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases fairly simply.

Remember however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one is going to be completely wet 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.
