It was after 5 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! James and I were resting there discussing the recent golf results, waiting around for the seventh job to arrive. Finally we got a call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling station in Greytree and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel creamy white Volkswagen Tiguan rental by mistake. She was fairly troubled apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I've messed up the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" We instructed her to take it easy and not to fret, plus that things like this sadly often happen. She managed to relocate the car to a protected position and, seeing that it was just a few minutes away from where we were, we could arrive at the woman right away. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could return to the motel she was living at. Despite the fact that we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and much less anxious. One more job in Herefordshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car parking bay we are able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can certainly trigger idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances pretty easily.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

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.
