Eventually we received the call from a woman on a company trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Colmworth and put petrol in her diesel compact Vauxhall Monaro hire car by mistake. She was very irritated apparently, crying "I cannot believe that I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!"

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious issue to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel is going to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances rather expediently.

Remember that in the event that the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked near to a car or truck parking spot we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

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.
