It was close to 9 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless night, it hadn't stopped pouring! Brian and me were resting talking over the rugby results, at the ready for the 6th call of the day to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in West Blackdene and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel mint green BMW 1 Series rental. She was fairly irritated apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so used to filling my petrol car I totally did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that such things regrettably can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a safe spot and, because it was only a short distance off from the office, we were able to find the lady without delay. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the motel she was lodging at.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank may well bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both cases very simply.

Be aware that any time the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will likely be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car or truck parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

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 VA 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.
