It was after 8 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were seated there talking about the recent sports, ready for the seventh call for the day to come in. Finally we received the call from a lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Spaunton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel mint condition Land Rover Defender 110 rental car by mistake. She was quite troubled it seemed, saying "I simply cannot believe I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected space and, since it was just a few miles off from the office, we were able to find the woman quickly.

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to take care of in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is likely to cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Take note however that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed because the old one will likely be thoroughly 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.
