It was after five pm on a Thursday and though we were assured a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were resting commenting on the weekend's football results, prepared for the 8th telephone call to arrive. Finally we got the call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Roydon and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel dad's Hyundai Sonata lease car by mistake. She was pretty affected apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have ruined the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to find the lady fairly quickly.

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to take care of in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel can easily cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both circumstances quite swiftly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

This was certainly the graveyard shift. It was about 3 in the morning and nobody was about. It had become rather uneventful thus far, and me and Brian were sitting browsing a few old articles. This was an uncommon restful hour in Essex. Actually it was indeed so relaxing that when my mobile rang I leaped with surprise! The person said: "I finished my night shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in my mustard yellow Mazda MX-3 in error". I got him to let us know just where the car was located and we set off, ending up in Roydon only an hour or so later. The incorrect fuel was removed from the car and he said thanks for arriving so rapidly. As we were heading back to base we spotted two young women at the side of the highway who seemed to have a flat tyre. So we stopped to change it, 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.
