Before long we had the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol station in Bolholt and put petrol in a diesel dark green Audi A6 lease car in error. She was pretty distressed apparently, crying "I still can't believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the car to a protected position and, as it was just a few minutes from our van, we could find the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying at.

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant issue to address in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out fully, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances rather easily.

Keep in mind though that in the event that the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

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.
