It was about eight pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were relaxing there talking about the recent footy, ready for the seventh call that day to come in. In due time we got the call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol garage in Hest Bank and filled petrol in her diesel aunt's Subaru Outback rental car by mistake. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things sadly can happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a safe space and, seeing as it was only a short distance off from our van, we could arrive at the customer without delay. The bad fuel was drained and she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Even though we got really wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away contented and a lot less anxious. Yet another job in Lancashire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to address in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can certainly produce idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove as compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we are able to solve both situations pretty quickly.

Remember however that so long as the vehicle was started with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the old one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We've carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lancashire - Petrol in Diesel Car Hest Bank

I'm certainly not overly hot for doing work Sundays, and a while back was no different. I had only just come away from the family after having a tasty dinner cooked for us by the better half, and I was off to help a gentleman after he put the wrong fuel in his shiny Mercedes SL65 AMG. He was somewhere in Hest Bank hence it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. As I arrived behind the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Praise God! I stupidly had my thoughts on other considerations and didn't grasp that I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Have I brought on any damage as a result of running it?" I determined that there probably should not be damage and that also I would remove the fuel right away. Naturally I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and put in the suitable fuel, and then another satisfied customer had the ability to continue on their ride without the need for bother. The man did not stop saying thanks to me, and this is actually what tends to make carrying out work on weekends in Lancashire just that small bit easier in my opinion!

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.
