It was just after 10 pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring! James and me were relaxing there talking about the football rankings, at the ready for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Before long we got a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Crockerton Green and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel Ferarri red Ford Fiesta rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things do happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure space and, since it was just a short distance away from where we were, we were able to find the woman almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at. Despite the fact we got really drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away calm and less stressed. A misfuel correction in Wiltshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel will likely cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain when compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

Remember that if ever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

This was an unsociable time to be on the road. It was close to 3:30am and almost noone was around. It had become quite uneventful up to now, and Mark and I were relaxing reading through some old newspapers. It was an unusual quiet hour in Wiltshire. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that the instant the phone inevitably rang it made me jump! The person on the opposite end told me: "I've only just completed my overnight shift and incredibly poured petrol in a super Porsche Cayenne by mistake". We instructed him to inform us where exactly he was located and we left, reaching him in Crockerton Green not as much as an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the vehicle and he said thanks for showing up so promptly. As we were going back to base we noticed two young ladies on the edge of the highway who looked like they had a flat tyre. Accordingly we stopped to help them 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.
