It was just before 8 pm on a Friday and although we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and me were sitting there discussing the recent football rankings, at the ready for the next job to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys petrol garage in Stroxton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel well worn Chrysler Grand Voyager hire car. The poor lady was rather distressed apparently, saying "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things unfortunately can happen. She managed to move the car to a secure position and, as it was no more than a short distance away from the office, we were able to arrive at the woman right away. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could go home to the Premier Inn she was living in. Even though we got pretty soaked, it was all worth it seeing her drive away calm and less concerned.

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel will often trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases pretty easily.

Remember that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

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.
