Inevitably we received a call from a woman on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol garage in Radford and put the wrong fuel in a diesel mom's Mazda929 hire car by mistake. The unfortunate thing was pretty troubled apparently, saying "I still cannot believe I have ruined the car!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important matter to address in a vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can trigger idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out fully, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations very quickly.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one is going to be totally water-logged and ineffective.

I enjoyed a fantastic afternoon hiking during the weekend and was feeling contented with myself the next working day as I set out to assist a new family who were away in Radford. They'd stopped after inserting the wrong fuel into their company's Lexus LX, and the car was close to half an hour away. I got there at their location and laughed to myself as I heard to the wife telling her hubby off for turning out to be so silly. "Just how could you actually manage to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she said to him. I attempted to clarify that this takes place constantly in Nottinghamshire and that it's absolutely nothing to worry about, nevertheless he in spite of everything had an ear bashing by his missus. Poor lad. Anyway, I extracted all of the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and filled it up with the correct fuel.

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:

    • 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 VAT receipt.
