It was just after 10 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Ray and I were resting there talking over the recent golf, waiting for the 8th job to come in. Eventually we had a call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Mickle Trafford and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel new Volkswagen Golf III hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so used to filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, also that such things sadly happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we could reach the customer quickly. The bad fuel was extracted so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was living in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and much less worried. Another misfuel correction in Cheshire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to take care of in an automobile - particularly in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank is likely to lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both cases very expediently.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle was run with the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and unusable.

I had a wonderful day cycling on the weekend and felt contented with myself the next day as I set off to aid a young couple who were away in Mickle Trafford. They stopped after adding the wrong fuel into their apricot Audi A3, and they were about an hour's travel away. I turned up at their car and smiled as I listened to the girl berating her spouse for being so stupid. "How could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she said to him. I tried to tell her that this comes to pass frequently in Cheshire and that it is absolutely nothing to be concerned about, but he in spite of everything had an earful by his better half. Poor boy. In any case, I removed all the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and gave it some right fuel. Watching as they drove away I waved so long and pondered on what her indoors would tell me in the event that I made the exact same blunder... I would personally never ever live it down!

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.
