Eventually we received the phone call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Wilsthorpe and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel well worn Lexus LFA rental by mistake. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, saying "I can't believe I've ruined the car! I am so used to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!"

The 3 things you NEED to know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases a serious matter to take care of in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can contribute to idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both circumstances rather simply.

You should know though that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

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.
