If ever you have put petrol in a diesel car or truck in Shevington Moor we certainly are the company you should call. We serve the entirety of the Shevington Moor region and all surrounding parts.

It was just after five pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Ray and me were sitting talking over the weekend's footy results, ready for the sixth telephone call for the day to come in. In due time we had the call from a woman on a business trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Shevington Moor and put petrol in a diesel brand new Audi V8 rental car. The unfortunate lady was rather distressed by the sounds of it, saying "I still can't believe that I have ruined the vehicle! I am just so used to filling my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and that these things regrettably can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a protected position and, seeing that it was just a short distance from us, we could find the woman without delay. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got thoroughly soaked, it was all rewarding seeing her drive off contented and much less worried. Another job in Greater Manchester well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to handle in a car - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will likely bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not addressed correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both situations very expediently.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing as the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or secured near to a car or truck parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous 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.
