It was after 7 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring! Ray and I were sitting commenting on the tennis, ready for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we had the call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Holcombe Brook and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic green Mazda929 lease car in error. She was somewhat affected it seemed, telling me "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that things like this sadly happen.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important condition to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will likely trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of than water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations fairly swiftly.

Keep in mind though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will be completely wet and useless.

So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

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.
