It was just after six pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a rainless day, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Paul and I were seated there talking about the sports, prepared for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we got the phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol station in Otley and filled petrol in her diesel deep grey Volkswagen Eos hire car. The poor thing was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I cannot believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, also that these things sadly happen. She was able to relocate the car to a secure area and, because it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the hotel she was living in.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to handle in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can easily result in idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied fully, potentially blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both situations rather simply.

Take note that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

This was what we call the night shift. It was close to dawn and almost noone was stirring. It was rather dead thus far, and me and Mark were sitting around reading a couple of old papers. It was a rare peaceful time in Suffolk. It was in fact that peaceful that the moment the telephone inevitably rang it made me start! The voice stated: "I have concluded my night shift and stupidly put petrol in the buff Peugeot 405". We instructed him to inform us exactly where the vehicle was situated and we left, ending up in Otley half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the vehicle and he said thanks a lot for showing up so quickly. As we were returning to the office we saw two young ladies at the edge of the street who seemed like they had a flat tyre. As a result we pulled over to change it, to their delight.

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.
