It was after eight pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were seated there talking about the weekend's tennis results, waiting for the 6th telephone call that day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Bainton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel dad's Skoda Octavia rental by mistake. She was very agitated apparently, saying "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I had forgot I was operating a diesel!" We instructed her to calm down and not to fret, and also that these things can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a safe position and, because it was only a short distance away from us, we could arrive at the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could return to the hotel she was lodging in. Even though we got extremely wet, it was all worth the time seeing her drive off calm and not so worried. One more misfuel correction in Cambridgeshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely an important issue to address in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank is likely to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both cases very quickly.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a vehicle parking spot we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

A guy had conked out near a road in Bainton. His company's Mercedes Sprinter 2500 engine had stopped functioning and he had no clue what was wrong until eventually he noticed he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle. He called us to request a fuel drain and that's when he explained to us: "I can not believe that I didn't know that I put the incorrect fuel in my vehicle." He stated that he had got no sleep the night before and that must have been the reason why.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Bainton

Now I'm not actually excessively interested in running weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd only just come away from the family after having a lovely dinner made for me by the wife, and I was on the way to deal with a man because he put the incorrect fuel in his daughter's Smart Forfour. He was only in Bainton so I arrived with him before long. As I arrived at the vehicle and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise the Almighty! I stupidly had my attention on other stuff and failed to grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought about any kind of problems by simply starting it?" I determined that generally there should not be any kind of problems and that also I'd remove the wrong fuel quickly for him. Naturally I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some suitable fuel, and yet another pleased motorist had the ability to continue his journey without the bother. The guy could hardly stop thanking me, and this is actually what tends to make working on Sundays in Cambridgeshire just a tiny bit better in my opinion!

A customer working in Bainton called us after she had tried to get her wrong fueled vehicle to her office. She had filled petrol in her diesel green Ford Ranger and, like plenty prior to her, believed that she would be able to just fill up her tank with diesel and it'd be alright. The vehicle was coughing and then it died when she reached the entrance of her work. We promptly started on the fuel drain following her call and got it fixed in 60 minutes whilst she was at work. She came outside when we finished and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely happy you fixed my car."

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.
