It was just after ten pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were relaxing going over the rugby results, waiting around for the 6th call that day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in North Barsham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel spotless BMW M3 lease car by mistake. The poor lady was very affected it seemed, telling me "I just can't believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe space and, because it was just a few minutes away from our van, we could find her swiftly.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant situation to deal with in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol may lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both circumstances rather quickly.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be completely wet 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.
