It was around 6 pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry day, it had not given up on raining! Mark and I were seated talking over the sports results, ready for the seventh telephone call for the day to come in. Finally we had a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Weybourne and filled petrol in her diesel rugged Audi riolet lease car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled it seemed, crying "I just can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car I had didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure spot and, as it was just a short distance from our van, we were able to arrive at her swiftly.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is likely to produce idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both situations quite quickly.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel Doctor Weybourne - Fuel Rescue Weybourne

This was certainly what is called an unsociable time to be on the road. It was close to sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It was quite dead so far, and me and Brian were sitting about looking through a number of old magazines. It was a rare quiet hour in Surrey. It was that calm that when the telephone inevitably rang it made me jump! The customer explained: "I have ended my night shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in the rugged Audi Coupe GT in error". I instructed him to tell us where exactly the car was located and we hit the road, reaching him in Weybourne an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was cleared from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for coming out so quickly. As we were heading back to base we saw two young ladies on the edge of the road who appeared to have a puncture. So we pulled over to change it, much to their elation.

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.
