It was close to 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped raining! Paul and I were resting there discussing the sports, waiting for the sixth call to arrive. Finally we received a phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Sainsburys filling garage in Crawford and put petrol in her diesel pristine Peugeot 406 lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, because it was only a few miles away from our van, we could arrive at her fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely drenched, it was all worth it seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less worried. Yet another fuel drain in Lancashire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel may well bring about idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances quite simply.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage and drain out the fuel. We've successfully done 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 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.
