It was about six pm on a Thursday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were relaxing there going over the weekend's rugby results, ready for the 8th job of the day to come in. Inevitably we received the call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Landford and filled petrol in her diesel son's Suzuki Grand Vitara rental car. She was somewhat troubled it seemed, crying "I can't believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had did not remember that I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a protected position and, since it was just a short distance from where we were, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got very soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and much less concerned. A misfuel correction in Wiltshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly an important issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will likely result in idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to solve both situations pretty swiftly.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will 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 VAT 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.
