It was before seven pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Brian and I were relaxing there discussing the recent golf rankings, prepared for the next telephone call that day to come in. Before long we had a phone call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Ibthorpe and filled petrol in her diesel black Fiat Scudo hire car in error. She was somewhat agitated apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, also that such things regrettably do happen. She was able to relocate the car to a safe space and, as it was just a few miles from where we were, we were able to get to her without delay. The bad fuel was taken out and she could return to the hotel she was residing in. Despite the fact we got very wet, it was all worth it to see her drive away satisfied and much less worried. Yet another job in Hampshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is usually an important matter to take care of in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel may trigger idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both situations pretty quickly.

Take note that as long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to an automobile parking bay we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have performed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

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.
