It was close to six pm on a Monday and although we were guaranteed a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and me were relaxing there going over the weekend's rugby results, waiting for the 6th telephone call to come in. Finally we had the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Scartho and put the wrong fuel in a diesel clean white Renault Traffic lease car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very affected it seemed, saying "I just can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was no more than a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to get to the woman right away. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could return to the Travelodge she was residing at. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less worried. A fuel drain in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to address in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both circumstances pretty expediently.

Take note that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged 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.
