It was just after ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh day, it had not stopped pouring! James and me were relaxing commenting on the recent rugby, waiting for the 8th job that day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Starling and put the wrong fuel in a diesel mum's Jaguar XK rental car. She was rather troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, plus that such things sadly can happen. She had managed to relocate the car into a protected spot and, as it was just a few miles away from where we were, we were able to find the woman right away. The wrong fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home satisfied and much less anxious. One more misfuel correction in Greater Manchester done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a significant situation to handle in a car - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel is going to contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to take care of both circumstances quite expediently.

Be aware that if the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

A fairly alarmed driver called us from the BP petrol station at Greater Manchester to tell us that he put unleaded into his diesel mate's Audi S5; he wasn't quite sure how he'd managed to do it. We assured him it was no concern and before long had our technician out to him to clear the contaminated fuel from his vehicle. Having taken away the wrong fuel, he was subsequently back on the road.

I wouldn't like breaking down in a automobile running on the incorrect fuel on the road. Our last customer who filled her car with the incorrect fuel (clean white Nissan JUKE) in Starling suffered exactly that crisis: "Your man helped me remove my car from the road. He drained it and had it functioning after only half an hour. Couldn't recommend you more."

It truly was an unsociable hour to be on the road. It was around 2 in the morning and noone was about. It had become fairly dead so far, and me and John were sitting reading a few old papers. It was a rare quiet time in Greater Manchester. Actually it was in fact so quiet that the instant the telephone ultimately rang it made me jump! The voice stated: "I have only just completed my evening shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in a bright yellow Vauxhall Corsa in error". We told him to tell us where exactly the car was and we set off, reaching him in Starling under an hour or so later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the motor and he thanked us for getting there so fast. As we were returning home we found two young women on the side of the road who looked like they had a flat. As a result we stopped and helped them change it, much 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.
