It was just after 9 pm on a Monday and while we were promised a dry night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing there talking over the recent footy, at the ready for the sixth job for the day to arrive. In due time we received the phone call from a girl on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Baslow and put the wrong fuel in her diesel bright red Honda rental car in error. The unfortunate lady was quite affected apparently, stating "I simply cannot believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, and also that such things sadly often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from our van, we were able to find her quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off calm and a lot less anxious. A fuel drain in Derbyshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant matter to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can certainly produce idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can deal with both situations rather easily.

Remember that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we can access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel.

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.
