It was around 8 pm on a Friday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining!

Inevitably we had the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Woodmansgreen and put petrol in her diesel partner's Renault Megane hire car in error. The unfortunate thing was somewhat distressed it seemed, crying "I can not believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to fret, also that things like this happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Waste Fuel Disposal

We have been called out to several domestic and industrial properties in West Sussex to deal with draining and recycling fuel storages.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant situation to address in a car - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may well cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to resolve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Take note that so long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

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.
