It was close to seven pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh night, it had not given up on raining! Ray and I were relaxing there commenting on the weekend's rugby results, prepared for the sixth fuel drain that day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol garage in Wardrobes and filled petrol in a diesel winter grey Peugeot 106 hire car. She was very distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that these things sadly often happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

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

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel is likely to trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of correctly, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain than water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both cases rather swiftly.

Remember that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be totally water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Wardrobes

I am not actually so keen on running weekends, and the other day was the same. I'd just departed the family after a tasty Sunday roast cooked for me by the missus, and I was on my way to help a fellow who had put the wrong petrol in his buff Daewoo Leganza. He was somewhere in Wardrobes so it wouldn't be long before I got to him. Just as I pulled up at the car and got busy draining he said to me "Praise the Lord! I foolishly had my attention on other considerations and failed to realise I have put diesel in my petrol car. Have I created some damage as a result of running it?" I determined truth be told there should not be any kind of harm and that I would personally get the wrong fuel drained as quickly as possible. Naturally I drained the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and filled it with the suitable fuel, and then another content client was able to continue on his ride without the need for bother. The guy could hardly stop thanking me, and this is exactly what tends to make working on Sundays in Buckinghamshire a tiny bit better in my opinion!

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.
