A customer broken down on a street in Woolstone had to have a fuel drain about a month ago. His black Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG was broken down on the side of the road after he had filled up with the wrong fuel. He was relaxed when he called us but a bit worried to move his car out of the road as he was generating some congestion. We got to him within a quarter-hour seeing that our drainer was in neighbouring Woolstone and had finished a fuel drain. He said, "I just don't believe I put unleaded in my diesel car and stopped right here! My car was chugging I basically needed to pull over and then it just cut out."

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Run Out of Fuel Service

Out of fuel in Woolstone (out of gas - as the Americans would say)? We run a full Gloucestershire Run Out of Fuel Service. We can help to fill up your car in cases where you are having difficulty on a motorway, on the side of the road far from a petrol station, or perhaps even at your home. Our technicians can come out to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (purchased at pump prices) to fill your vehicle. They will be able to take care of the normal problems that could go along with running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries because of over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel may produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly quickly.

Be aware however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will be completely wet and ineffective.

The driver of a canary yellow Daihatsu Charade was sorry that he had put petrol in his diesel car when he got onto the street and it coughed and ground to a halt. "I've gone and put petrol in my diesel car," is what he shared with us the very first time he called. To be truthful, when he first telephoned us he said he would like to comparison shop, but he called us back shortly because our price and arrival times were the most desirable. Not surprisingly, our technician had him back doing his deliveries well within the period we had cited.

A gentleman phoned us from Woolstone to state that he had foolishly piped the wrong fuel in to his diesel navy blue Mitsubishi Endeavor. "I can't believe it! I can't believe I put unleaded in my nice diesel car!" It took our technician approximately 50 minutes to completely drain the incorrect fuel from the vehicle. He completely purged the fuel lines, filter and pumps and put fresh diesel in the vehicle. The customer was very pleased and it hadn't cost him car dealership prices to get the task professionally done.

She had put the wrong fuel in her diesel mint condition Volkswagen Touareg and, like many people prior to her, thought that she would be able to just fill up the car with diesel and it'd be alright. The car was coughing and then it stopped when she arrived at the entrance of her work. We soon started on the fuel drain after she called and got it resolved in one hour while she was at the office. She came outside later on and thanked us stating, "I'm really relieved you fixed my vehicle."

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.
