It was just after six pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased raining! Ray and I were seated there talking about the rugby rankings, waiting around for the next call of the day to arrive. In due time we had a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling garage in Rawcliffe Bridge and put petrol in her diesel dad's Toyota RAV4 rental car in error. The poor lady was quite troubled apparently, stating "I can not believe I've destroyed the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, and also that these things sadly can happen. She was able to get the car into a secure spot and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from the office, we could reach the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was removed so she could return to the motel she was residing at. Although we got extremely wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive home satisfied and much less anxious. Yet another job in East Riding of Yorkshire done well 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 petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to address in a car - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can certainly contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both situations very quickly.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've performed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

This was exactly what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was about 3 in the morning and noone was stirring. It had been pretty uneventful so far, and John and I were sitting reading a few old articles. This was a rare peaceful hour in East Riding of Yorkshire. It was indeed so calm that the moment my mobile inevitably rang it made me jump! The motorist on the opposite end explained: "I've just concluded my overnight shift and incredibly put the wrong fuel in my old Fiat 500". I instructed him to let us know where the car was and we set off, reaching him in Rawcliffe Bridge no more than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for showing up so quickly. As we were going back home we noticed two women at the side of the highway who seemed like they had a flat tyre. So we got out and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
