It was just after 6 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were seated there talking over the recent football, at the ready for the next telephone call that day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had pulled into the Esso filling station in Anchorsholme and put the wrong fuel in her diesel new-shape Toyota Prius rental car. The poor thing was very affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to fret, also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe space and, because it was only a few minutes away from where we were, we could arrive at the lady swiftly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could once again go back to the hotel she was lodging at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less stressed. Yet another misfuel correction in Lancashire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious situation to handle in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel is going to produce idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty simply.

Keep in mind however that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter to be installed seeing that the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

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.
