It was before ten pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless day, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and me were seated there commenting on the tennis, at the ready for the next telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a lovely woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the BP filling station in Millbrook and put the wrong fuel in a diesel silver Ford Galaxie rental car. She was fairly troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, also that these things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe area and, since it was only a short distance off from our van, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to parking bay we can reach the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant issue to handle in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will often lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, possibly blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both circumstances very expediently.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged 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.
