Finally we received a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Gunthorpe and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dark red Mazda B2600 hire car. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I just can't believe that I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I totally forgot I was using a diesel!"

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to take care of in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel will often bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, quite possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both cases very expediently.

Take note that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

This was what is called the night shift. It was close to dawn and hardly anyone was around. It had been quite dead until now, and John and I were loafing browsing some old newspapers. This was a rare restful time in Cambridgeshire. Actually it was in fact that peaceful that the instant the phone rang it made me jump! The customer stated: "I've just completed my night shift and stupidly put petrol in my diesel bright red Hyundai Genesis in error". I got him to inform us where exactly he was situated and we headed out, getting to him in Gunthorpe only an hour later. The fuel was extracted from the engine and he said thank you for coming so fast. As we were going back to the depot we found two women on the side of the street who appeared to have a puncture. Obviously we pulled over to change it, much to their delight.

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.
