It was around 8 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a dry day, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and me were sitting there commenting on the weekend's footy results, prepared for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Walhampton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic grey Volvo960 rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated apparently, telling me "I can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly do happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing as it was just a few miles away from us, we could find the customer right away. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to return to the hotel she was living in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home relaxed and less anxious. One more fuel drain in Hampshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant matter to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can contribute to idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Remember that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and useless.

Ahhh, that was a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 on a rainy Wednesday and I was off to help an elder lovely lady who put petrol in her diesel buff Skoda Octavia in Walhampton. I had been told she had left the filling station and broken down in a country road on route to see her godchildren. I got her location plugged in the Satnav and was on-scene within an hour or so. I got to the destination and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she told me, "I am getting relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car needing diesel as I'd only just purchased it a week back right after my previous one, which I owned for more than 30 years, eventually died". I finished the drain and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. Such a delightful Hampshire woman!

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.
