It was around eight pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! James and I were sitting there going over the weekend's footy, prepared for the 8th telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling station in Knowle Hill and filled petrol in a diesel apple green Nissan 350Z Roadster lease car in error. She was somewhat troubled apparently, telling me "I just can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, and that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a protected position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes off from the office, we could reach the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Although we got pretty soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away calm and not so worried. One more fuel drain in Surrey well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank can lead to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove compared to water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations quite simply.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

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 VAT 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.
