It was just before eight pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated discussing the golf results, waiting around for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol station in Queen Oak and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel shiny Volvo XC60 hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, plus that these things often happen. She was able to get the car to a secure space and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from the office, we could reach the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was removed and she could return to the Travelodge she was living in. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive home relaxed and less stressed. Another job in Wiltshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important issue to take care of in a car - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can bring about idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both situations very quickly.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

    • 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.
