It was just after 5 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing there discussing the football, waiting for the next job for the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lovely women on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Stour Provost and put the wrong fuel in a diesel white Mitsubishi 3000GT rental by mistake. She was somewhat distressed apparently, stating "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to fret, and that things like this often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a protected space and, since it was just a few miles from the office, we were able to arrive at her without delay. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to return to the hotel she was staying in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. One more job in Dorset well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a significant situation to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can result in idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations pretty easily.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

A woman had broken down on a street, Stour Provost just after having misfueled. She was weeping and very agitated as she had put £50 petrol in her diesel car. As she phoned us we made an effort to cool her as well as we could, assuring her that all would be okay.

I'm really gratified that it was easily repairable."

It truly was what is called the night shift. It was about sunrise and noone was about. It was fairly quiet thus far, and Brian and I were relaxing looking at several old articles. That was an unusual restful moment in Dorset. Actually it was in fact so peaceful that the moment the phone rang I leaped with surprise! The person on the phone said: "I have just concluded my night shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in the mom's Audi RS 4". I got him to tell us where the car was situated and we left, ending up in Stour Provost under an hour later. The fuel was extracted from the vehicle. He said thank you for getting there so promptly. As we were heading back to the depot we saw two ladies at the edge of the highway who appeared to have a puncture. As a result we pulled up 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 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.
