It was just before ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ryan and me were sitting there going over the weekend's sports rankings, waiting for the seventh fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we received the call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Foy and filled petrol in a diesel pristine BMW M3 rental in error. The poor thing was very affected it seemed, telling me "I can not believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, also that these things regrettably happen. She was able to relocate the car to a protected position and, because it was only a short distance from our van, we could find her without delay.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious situation to deal with in an automobile - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel can easily lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both circumstances fairly easily.

Be aware however that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed 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 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.
