It was before 9 pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not given up on raining! Mark and I were relaxing there going over the rugby results, prepared for the next call for the day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Allington and put petrol in a diesel baby blue Seat Altea rental by mistake. The unfortunate thing was quite irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to filling my petrol car I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to fret, and also that such things do happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected spot and, since it was no more than a few miles off from us, we were able to find her quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was living at. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth it to watch her drive home relaxed and much less stressed. A misfuel correction in Dorset done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both circumstances very expediently.

You should know that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

So long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Allington

Now I'm certainly not too interested in carrying out work Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I had only just left the family filled with a lovely Sunday roast cooked for me by the wife, and I was on the way to sort out a fellow because he put the wrong petrol in his daughter's Mitsubishi Excel. He was located in Allington and so I was with him soon. Just as I pulled up right behind the vehicle and got busy draining he said to me "Thank God! I had my attention on other considerations and failed to perceive I've put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought on some damage because of running it?" I revealed there shouldn't be any kind of harm and also that I'd personally get the wrong fuel drained right away. Needless to say I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and another satisfied customer could continue on his traveling without any hassle. He could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and this is what tends to make operating on Sundays in Dorset just that tiny bit less painful for 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 VA 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.
