It was after eight pm on a Tuesday and although we were promised a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were resting talking about the weekend's sports rankings, ready for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we got the phone call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Texaco filling station in Dales Brow and put the wrong fuel in a diesel son's Nissan 350Z Roadster hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was somewhat affected it seemed, crying "I can't believe I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I had didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things regrettably do happen. She managed to get the car to a protected space and, because it was no more than a short distance away from our van, we could get to her almost instantly.

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious condition to handle in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain in comparison with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances pretty quickly.

Bear in mind however that so long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Waste Fuel Removal

We have been called out to several domestic and commercial premises in Greater Manchester to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages.

This really was what we call an unsociable hour to be awake. It was around sunrise and almost noone was around. It had been fairly uneventful until now, and me and Brian were loafing about perusing some old papers. It was an uncommon tranquil moment in Greater Manchester. It was so peaceful that the moment the phone finally rang I jumped with surprise! The voice on the phone said: "I completed my night shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in the husband's Toyota Highlander Hybrid". I instructed him to inform us where the vehicle was and we headed out, getting to him in Dales Brow only an hour later. The fuel was taken out from the car and he thanked us profusely for arriving so promptly. While we were heading back home we noticed two young ladies at the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture. Accordingly we pulled over to change it, 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 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.
