It was just after ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were resting there talking about the weekend's golf, at the ready for the next fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we had a call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling station in Pinnacles and filled petrol in a diesel mint green Honda CR-Z rental car by mistake. She was rather troubled apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this regrettably happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a safe spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes from where we were, we were able to arrive at the woman rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could go home to the motel she was staying in.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant issue to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases quite expediently.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a car parking spot we are able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We have completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

I got her location punched straight into the Satnav and arrived in less than an hour. I got to the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car.

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.
