It was just after seven pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! James and me were seated there discussing the recent tennis, at the ready for the 6th call of the day to come in. Finally we received the phone call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had arrived at the Texaco petrol station in Higher Dinting and put petrol in her diesel expensive BMW M5 rental in error. She was quite agitated by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I had forgot that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a significant matter to deal with in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is going to result in idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances pretty easily.

You should know however that if ever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

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.
