It was after 10 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and me were sitting there commenting on the recent sports, prepared for the seventh call for the day to come in. In due time we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Palgrave and filled petrol in a diesel black Volvo C70 rental. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe I have ruined the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, and that these things sadly can happen. She managed to move the car to a protected spot and, as it was only a few minutes away from the office, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home contented and not so stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Suffolk done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important matter to address in a car - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank will cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both cases pretty easily.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

A lady from Palgrave with a full car of kids in her diesel work's Renault had put £20 of petrol at the Sainsburys service station. She contacted us sobbing and genuinely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and didn't know what would happen to her car because of it. We told her that everything should be okay and that she would be in action in no time at all. When we arrived she was visible distressed but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't unfixable.

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.
