It was around five pm on a Friday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and I were relaxing going over the football results, at the ready for the next call of the day to come in. Before long we received a call from a woman on a company trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Mount Pleasant and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel clean white Ford Transit Connect rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I cannot believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things sadly happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle to a safe spot and, as it was only a short distance away from the office, we could reach the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in.

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is likely to lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove than water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both situations pretty simply.

Remember that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and ineffective.

This was what we call the graveyard shift. It was close to sunrise and hardly anyone was about. It was quite dead up to now, and me and John were relaxing reading through a couple of old papers. That was an uncommon peaceful time in Tyne and Wear. It was so calm that the instant the phone rang I leaped with surprise! The customer explained: "I have just concluded my night shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel precious Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class in error". I instructed him to inform us where he was located and we hit the road, ending up in Mount Pleasant an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed from the 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.
