It was around ten pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Ray and me were resting there discussing the golf results, waiting for the 8th job for the day to come in. Before long we got the call from a girl on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in Kingsway and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel stylish Peugeot Partner lease car by mistake. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I asked her to calm down and not to be concerned, plus that such things do happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle into a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to reach the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive off contented and not so worried. Another job in Cheshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!

If there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually a serious matter to address in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel can potentially bring about idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can take care of both cases very easily.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Kingsway

Now I'm not necessarily overly interested in doing work weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I had just departed home following a magnificent dinner cooked for us by the better half, and I was on my way to help a gentleman who had put the wrong fuel in his husband's VW Touareg 2. He was somewhere in Kingsway therefore I was with him quickly. As I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Thank the Almighty! I stupidly had my attention on other things and did not ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. I need to know if I inflicted any damage by running it?" I stated that generally there should not be damage and that also I'd get the contaminated fuel drained at once for him. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with the suitable fuel, and then yet another content customer had the ability to continue their journey without any subsequent hassle. The man could not stop thanking me, and that is actually what tends to make earning a living on Sundays in Cheshire just that tiny bit better for me!

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.
