It was about eight pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were relaxing there talking over the golf, waiting for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. In due time we had a call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Mildenhall and put petrol in a diesel creamy white Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class lease car. The poor thing was very affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe space and, because it was only a short distance off from where we were, we were able to reach the lady fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and a lot less anxious. One more job in Suffolk done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will likely bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Bear in mind however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

A lady employed in Mildenhall phoned us as soon as she managed to get her wrong fueled car to the office. She had filled unleaded in her diesel cream Dodge Charger and, like plenty prior to her, assumed that she could basically fill her car with diesel and it would be okay. The car was coughing and then it stopped when she reached the entrance of her office. We promptly started on the fuel drain following her call and got it resolved inside one hour whilst she was in the office. She came outside soon after and thanked us saying, "I'm really pleased you fixed my car."

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.
