It was about ten pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and I were seated there talking about the recent golf results, prepared for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell petrol garage in Hook Street and filled petrol in her diesel khaki green Fiat Ulysse rental car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was fairly agitated it seemed, stating "I just can't believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things sadly do happen. She managed to relocate the car into a safe position and, as it was no more than a few miles off from our van, we could find her without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying at. Even though we got very wet, it was all rewarding seeing her drive away contented and less anxious. Yet another job in Wiltshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can potentially contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations fairly swiftly.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the old one is going to be completely water-logged and useless.

I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car car. As I was working she told me, "I have been becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the vehicle taking diesel since I'd only bought it a couple of days back right after my other one, which I used for over thirty years, inevitably died on me".

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.
