It was before 6 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry day, it hadn't stopped raining! James and I were seated talking over the weekend's rugby, waiting around for the next fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Bowley and filled petrol in a diesel burgundy red Volkswagen Tiguan rental. The unfortunate thing was somewhat affected it seemed, crying "I still can't believe I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to relocate the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles away from the office, we could reach her without delay.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important matter to handle in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel may result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations rather quickly.

Take note though that if the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Bowley - Wrong Fuel in Car Bowley

I had a great afternoon fishing on the weekend and felt satisfied the next morning as I set off to assist a new family who were away in Bowley. They conked out after inserting petrol in their wife's Renault Modus, and the car was close to half an hour's travel away. I arrived at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the wife berating her hubby for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you possibly be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this takes place on daily basis in Herefordshire and that it's nothing at all to be concerned about, however he yet still had an earful. Unfortunate lad. At any rate, I extracted all of the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and gave it some right fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted good bye and pondered on what my wife would tell me if I made the same error... I'd personally never ever live it down!

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.
