It was about 5 pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped pouring! Ryan and I were resting there discussing the golf results, waiting around for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Hartwith and put petrol in her diesel bright yellow Mazda323 lease car. The poor lady was rather agitated by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe that I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to fret, and also that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we could get to the lady quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was residing in. Although we got pretty wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and much less stressed. One more job in North Yorkshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant situation to take care of in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel can certainly cause idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out when compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we are able to handle both cases very expediently.

You should know though that if ever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed simply because the previous one will probably be completely wet 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.
