The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant situation to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may well trigger idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both cases rather quickly.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one will be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in GL51 Postcode - Golden Valley Misfueling

Just had a good night of sleep! 7:00 am on a sunny Sunday and I was on my way to help an older sweetheart who put petrol in her diesel cyan Peugeot 206 in Golden Valley. She informed us that she had driven away from the petrol station and was pulled up on a backwater lane along the way to visit her godchildren. I popped her location in the Satnav and got there inside an hour or so. I got to the stricken lady and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. While I was doing the drain she told me, "I am getting rather absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel as I had only just purchased it a short while back when my other one, which I used for in excess of 25 years, eventually died on me". I completed the drain and she offered me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful Gloucestershire woman!

I had a perfect day fishing on my holiday and was feeling satisfied the following day as I was on the way to help a young couple who were away in Golden Valley. They stopped after adding the wrong fuel into their beloved Vauxhall Insignia, and the car was about half an hour's travel away. I showed up at their location and smirked as I heard to the woman telling her spouse off for being so confused. "Exactly how could you even manage to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing happens regularly in Gloucestershire and that it is nothing to fret about, however he in spite of everything had an earful by his missus. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyhow, I extracted all of the wrong fuel, gave the engine a flush and gave them some proper fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I shouted farewell and wondered what my missus would ask me in the event that I did the very same thing... I'd never hear the end of it!

We recently had a call about a motorist who had put the incorrect fuel in his partner's Mercedes M-Class in Golden Valley. He had ground to a halt on the street. "After putting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't notice the quandary up until the time we broke down. You drained the wrong fuel from my car and got it functioning again. I was impressed with both your speed and your prices". It goes without saying that we arrived on the scene punctually and flushed the engine after draining the contaminated fuel from the diesel tank. On arrival our engineer said the driver was fuming, but was pleased after the fuel drain.

A woman employed in Golden Valley called us as soon as she managed to get her misfueled vehicle to her office. She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel spotless Ford Fusion and, like plenty prior to her, believed that she could basically top up the tank with diesel and it would be fine. The engine was coughing and then it stopped when she reached the the front of her work. We immediately started on the fuel drain following her call and had it resolved inside an hour while she was at work. She came out afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely happy you repaired my 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.
