It was just after six pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! James and I were sitting talking over the golf rankings, ready for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Hindlip and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel compact Volkswagen Jetta rental in error. The poor lady was somewhat affected it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and that such things sadly can happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was just a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was staying at.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is actually an important issue to address in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol may bring about idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both situations fairly swiftly.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hindlip - Wrong Fuel in Car Hindlip

I had a perfect evening cycling on my holiday and was feeling delighted with myself the following day as I set off to help a young couple who were holidaying in Hindlip. They'd conked out after filling petrol in their beautiful BMW X5 M, and were approximately an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself while I listened to the girl telling her hubby off for actually being so silly. "Exactly how could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I tried to clarify that this occurs all the time in Worcestershire and that it is nothing at all to stress about, even so he still got an ear bashing. Poor chap. Anyhow, I drained out the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled them up with the right fuel. Watching them drive off I shouted goodbye and wondered what my wife would ask me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would never ever live it down!

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.
