It was around six pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't ceased pouring! Dan and me were seated there discussing the weekend's rugby, waiting for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Bolton-by-Bowland and put petrol in her diesel husband's Mercedes E-Class rental by mistake. The poor lady was quite irritated it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that these things do happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will likely result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations fairly expediently.

You should know however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one is going to be totally wet and ineffective.

This was what is called the graveyard shift. It was roughly 3:30am and hardly anyone was stirring. It had been quite quiet until now, and me and Ray were relaxing reading some old papers. This was an uncommon quiet hour in Lancashire. Actually it was in fact that relaxing that when the phone eventually rang it made me start! The motorist on the opposite end told me: "I concluded my evening shift and incredibly filled petrol in a shiny Saab". We instructed him to tell us where he was located and we headed out, reaching him in Bolton-by-Bowland only an hour later. The contaminated fuel was removed from the motor and he thanked us for coming out so fast. While we were coming back to the depot we spotted two women at the side of the highway who seemed like they suffered a flat. Accordingly we got out and helped them 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 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.
