A guy broken down on a street in Pymore had to have a fuel drain around a few weeks back. His metallic yellow Hyundai Equus was stuck on the side of the road after he had put in the wrong fuel. He was calm when he rang us but a bit concerned to get his car away from the road because he was triggering some congestion. We got to him in 15 minutes as our drainer was in nearby Pymore and had completed his previous job. He said, "I do not believe I put unleaded in my diesel car and stopped right here!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to deal with in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may produce idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations quite swiftly.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Disposal

Have an old fuel reservoir placed at the back of the garden full of unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to many privately owned and industrial properties in Dorset for the purpose of removing and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to enable us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even a few containers in a shed, providing we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! It was 7:30 am on a sunny Sunday and I was off to help an old lovely lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel apple green Toyota Sienna in Pymore. I'd been advised she drove away from the petrol station and broken down along a backwater lane on the way to visit her godchildren. I punched her location into the TomTom and was with her within an hour. I reached the destination and removed the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing it she told me, "Now I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel because I'd only acquired it a week ago after my former one, which I owned for over thirty years, finally stopped working". I got the job completed and she gifted me a toffee and said thank you. What a precious Dorset woman!

This was certainly the graveyard shift. It was close to dawn and almost noone was about. It was fairly quiet thus far, and Ray and I were sitting around looking through some old articles. This was an unusual restful time in Dorset. It was indeed that relaxing that the moment the phone ultimately rang I jumped with surprise! The motorist on the phone stated: "I have only just finished my night shift and stupidly poured petrol in a partner's Kia Spectra by mistake". I told him to tell us just where the car was and we set off, getting to him in Pymore under an hour or so later. The fuel was taken out from the vehicle. He thanked us for coming so fast. While we were going back home we saw two girls on the edge of the street who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. Obviously we got out to help them change it, to their delight.

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.
