It was around 9 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were seated there talking about the weekend's tennis results, waiting for the 8th job for the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling garage in Newbottle and put the wrong fuel in her diesel dad's Toyota Prius rental car in error. The poor thing was fairly agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I instructed her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that things like this regrettably often happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a protected space and, seeing as it was only a few miles from us, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was lodging in. Even though we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive away contented and a lot less anxious. Yet another misfuel correction in Tyne and Wear well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will likely trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared to water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both situations pretty expediently.

Remember that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

This was exactly an unsociable time to be awake. It was close to sunrise and almost noone was about. It had become pretty quiet until now, and me and Mark were loafing reading through several old newspapers. This was a rare restful moment in Tyne and Wear. Actually it was that peaceful that the moment my mobile eventually rang I jumped! The customer stated: "I only just finished my evening shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel precious Mitsubishi 3000GT by mistake". I instructed him to inform us where the vehicle was situated and we headed out, getting to him in Newbottle only 30 minutes later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the car. He thanked us for getting there so fast. As we were heading back home we spotted two women on the side of the road who looked like they suffered a flat. Obviously we pulled over to help them 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.
