Brian and me were relaxing commenting on the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the 6th telephone call to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco filling station in Broadshard and put the wrong fuel in her diesel bright yellow VW Scirocco lease car in error. She was rather distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I can not believe that I've wrecked the car! I am so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, also that these things regrettably often happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be an important condition to deal with in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel can easily trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not taken care of fully, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases very swiftly.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be totally wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or moored close to parking bay we can access the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

This was certainly an unsociable hour to be up. It was close to 2 in the morning and almost noone was about. It had been rather dead until now, and me and Paul were relaxing looking through a few old papers. It was an unusual quiet time in Somerset. Actually it was indeed so quiet that when the phone finally rang it made me start! The motorist stated: "I've just finished my night shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in a diesel teal Suzuki Swift by mistake". I instructed him to let us know just where he was and we hit the road, arriving in Broadshard 30 minutes later. The incorrect fuel was cleaned from the motor and he said thanks a lot for coming so fast.

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.
