It was about 6 pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Mark and I were resting talking about the recent rugby rankings, waiting for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a young lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Barnack and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel mate's Audi V8 lease car in error. She was rather affected by the sounds of it, saying "I can not believe that I've ruined the car! I am so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I had didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably happen. She was able to move the car into a secure position and, seeing as it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to her almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive away satisfied and less anxious. Another job in Cambridgeshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel container lying in the rear of your premises containing unwanted and old, useless or degraded fuel? We're able to help you to get rid of it. We've been called out to numerous privately owned and commercial premises in Cambridgeshire to deal with draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Irrespective of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps some drums in a shed, providing we are able to access it, we could certainly empty it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to deal with in a motor vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can potentially result in idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances pretty expediently.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Ahhh, that was a great night of sleep! 7:30 am on a rainy Saturday and I was on my way to help an older sweetheart who put the wrong fuel in her diesel father's Land Rover Discovery Series II in Barnack. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded on a rural lane along the way to visit her grandchildren. I popped the location into the Satnav and arrived inside an hour or so. I arrived at the destination and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she explained, "I have been becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel seeing that I'd only just acquired it a couple of days back when my former car, which I used for about thirty years, finally stopped working". I completed the job and she presented me a toffee and said thank you. Such a delightful Cambridgeshire woman!

I'd had a perfect day cycling during my holiday and felt pleased with myself the next working day as I headed out to aid a new family who were vacationing in Barnack. They'd pulled over after inserting the wrong fuel in their silver Hyundai Scoupe, and the car was roughly half an hour away. I showed up at their position and smirked while I listened to the lady telling her man off for actually being so daft. "Exactly how could you actually find a way to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she demanded of him. I tried to tell her that this occurs constantly in Cambridgeshire and that it's truly nothing to be anxious about, even so he yet still had an ear bashing by his wife. I felt sorry for the boy. In any case, I drained out all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the correct fuel. Watching them drive off I mouthed farewell and thought about what my wife would say to me if ever I did the very same thing... I would personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

We did a wrong fuel removal exercise on the drive of a spectacular house in Barnack not so long ago. "I put petrol in my diesel car and was able to virtually reach home when my car cut out." Our specialist went out, despite the fact that it was rather late at night, and completed a fuel drain and purge on the rugged Volvo XC90 to everyone's satisfaction.

This was what we call the night shift. It was close to 2 in the morning and hardly anyone was around. It was quite uneventful until now, and me and Mark were loafing around reading through a number of old papers. That was a rare calm hour in Cambridgeshire. Actually it was in fact so quiet that the moment my mobile rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist explained: "I finished my overnight shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in the diesel Ferarri red Hyundai Elantra in error". We asked him to let us know where the car was and we hit the road, reaching him in Barnack under 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was removed from the engine and he said many thanks for coming out so fast. While we were coming back home we found two girls on the edge of the street who appeared to have a puncture. So we pulled over and helped them change it, to their delight.

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.
