It was just before seven pm on a Monday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were seated there discussing the recent golf rankings, waiting around for the 6th telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we got the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Brindham and put petrol in her diesel sunflower yellow BMW Z4 hire car by mistake. She was very troubled apparently, crying "I can't believe that I've messed up the car! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things unfortunately happen.

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant matter to handle in a vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank is likely to cause idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances quite swiftly.

Be aware however that if the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be completely 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.
