A gentleman stopped on a street in Cold Row required a fuel drain around a few weeks back. His mint green Toyota Cressida was stopped roadside after he had put in the wrong fuel. He was relaxed when he phoned us but a little anxious to get his car from the road because he was causing some traffic. We arrived inside fifteen minutes since our drainer was in neighbouring Cold Row and had completed a fuel drain. He said, "I do not believe I put the wrong fuel in my diesel car and broke down here! My vehicle was coughing I just had to stop and subsequently it just conked."

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol is likely to contribute to idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not sorted out properly, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases rather easily.

Take note however that whenever the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car parking bay we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've carried out quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 am on a warm Wednesday and I was on the way to help an old woman who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel grass green Dodge Colt in Cold Row. I had been advised she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and was broken down along a rural lane on route to see her grandchildren. I punched her location straight into the TomTom and was with her within an hour or so. I got to the car and drained the wrong fuel out of the car. As I was doing the drain she said, "I have been becoming quite absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the car using diesel since I had only just got it a short while back because my old one, which I'd had for about twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I finished the job and she offered me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant Lancashire woman!

Last Friday a young man phoned us when his mint condition Mitsubishi Chariot cut out in the middle of a street in Cold Row. He had unintentionally put petrol in the diesel motor and managed to get so far as the street before having to pull up. It was yet early in the morning and our fuel drainer, who resides close by, reached him in less than a quarter hour. We managed to drain the wrong fuel and put clean diesel once again in the vehicle. "Thank you for your prompt response, particularly at 1 a.m., I truly appreciate it."

It's no fun being stuck in a car running on the improper fuel halfway down the street. Our last customer who filled her car with the wrong fuel (sombre grey Mercedes E-Class) in Cold Row endured exactly this kind of crisis: "WrongFuelSOS.com's technician helped me to move my vehicle from the live lane. He drained it and had it going once again after only a half-hour. I highly recommend WrongFuelSOS.com."

This was an unsociable hour to be up. It was close to dawn and nobody was around. It was rather dead so far, and me and John were loafing about perusing a couple of old newspapers. That was an uncommon quiet hour in Lancashire. It was in fact so tranquil that when my mobile ultimately rang it made me jump! The person on the opposite end told me: "I have just finished my night shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in the dad's Volvo740 by mistake". We told him to tell us where exactly he was located and we hit the road, getting to him in Cold Row less than half an hour later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the engine and he thanked us for getting there so fast. As we were going back home we spotted two women on the edge of the street who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. Accordingly we pulled over to help them change it, 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.
