It was just after seven pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated going over the recent rugby rankings, prepared for the 6th fuel drain that day to arrive. Eventually we had the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys petrol garage in Fulney and put petrol in a diesel white Volvo V40 hire car in error. The unfortunate lady was quite distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe that I have wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" I just told her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things regrettably can happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can certainly lead to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases very simply.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

I had a wonderful evening fishing on my off day and felt satisfied the following morning as I set out to aid a young couple away in Fulney. They'd pulled over after putting petrol into their winter grey Ford Club Wagon, and were close to an hour away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the lady telling her husband off for being so daft. "How could you possibly find a way to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she demanded of him. I wanted to tell her that this kind of thing occurs on daily basis in Lincolnshire and that it is nothing to be concerned about, and yet he still had his ear bent. Poor lad. Anyways, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave it some right fuel. As they drove away I mouthed good bye and pondered on what her indoors would say to me if perhaps I did the very same thing... I would never hear the end of it!

This was the graveyard shift. It was around 3:30am and noone was stirring. It was quite dead until now, and me and Ryan were loafing around looking at a couple of old magazines. That was an unusual restful moment in Lincolnshire. Actually it was that tranquil that the instant my mobile finally rang I leaped with surprise! The person on the other end told me: "I have just ended my overnight shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in the spotless Jaguar by mistake". We instructed him to let us know where exactly the car was situated and we headed out, reaching him in Fulney less than an hour or so later. The contaminated fuel was taken out from the car and he said thanks a lot for coming out so fast. While we were coming back to the office we spotted two girls at the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre. So we pulled up 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.
