It was just after 8 pm on a Saturday and while we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased pouring! Mark and I were sitting discussing the football, waiting for the 6th call that day to come in. Before long we received a phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Walcot and put petrol in a diesel green Volvo S80 hire car by mistake. She was fairly distressed it seemed, saying "I can not believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to fret, plus that things like this happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle to a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we were able to find the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and a lot less concerned. Yet another misfuel correction in Wiltshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a motor vehicle - especially in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel will produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of than water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both situations rather expediently.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Wrong Fuel in Car in SN3 Postcode - Walcot Misfueling

What a good night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a bright Wednesday and I was on my way to assist an elder lady after she put petrol in her diesel brother's BMW in Walcot. I'd been informed she had left the filling station forecourt and was broken down on a country lane en route to visit her godchildren. I got the location punched straight into the Satnav and was with her inside 60 minutes. I turned up at the car and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she explained, "I have been getting rather absent-minded in my old age and did not remember about the car needing diesel because I had just bought it several days ago after my previous one, which I owned for over thirty years, eventually died". I finished the drain and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. What a pleasant Wiltshire woman!

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.
