It was after seven pm on a Friday and though we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Ryan and I were sitting there going over the golf results, prepared for the seventh telephone call of the day to come in. Before long we had a call from a lovely woman on a company expedition who had gone to the Texaco petrol garage in South Croxton and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel sunflower yellow Mitsubishi Outlander rental. She was rather agitated by the sounds of it, stating "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, since it was only a few minutes away from the office, we were able to find the woman right away.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant matter to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will often cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed fully, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both circumstances pretty quickly.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contamination it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking bay we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car South Croxton

Now I am not necessarily very enthusiastic about carrying out work on weekends, and 2 weeks ago was the same. I'd only just come away from the wife and kids after having a fantastic roast prepared for me by the wife, and I was on the way to assist a fellow because he filled the incorrect fuel in his apricot Porsche Cayman. He was located in South Croxton so I arrived there rapidly. Just as I arrived at the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Thank the Lord! I foolishly had my thoughts on other things and failed to grasp that I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I brought about damage by running it?" I revealed generally there should not be harm and also that I would get the fuel drained immediately for him. Needless to say I got the contaminated fuel drained from the car and filled up with the correct fuel, and so yet another happy customer could continue on his ride without the need for bother. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and that is exactly what helps make carrying out work on Sundays in Leicestershire that little bit better for me!

This was the graveyard shift. It was around dawn and almost noone was about. It had become quite dead thus far, and Ray and I were relaxing reading through a couple of old articles. It was an unusual peaceful moment in Leicestershire. Actually it was in fact that relaxing that when the telephone finally rang it made me start! The voice on the phone told me: "I have only just finished my overnight shift and foolishly put petrol in the diesel dark blue BMW M in error". I instructed him to let us know where the car was and we headed out, arriving in South Croxton only half an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the engine. He thanked us profusely for getting there so quickly. While we were heading back to the depot we noticed two ladies on the edge of the highway who looked like they suffered a flat. As a result we pulled up to change it, much to their delight.

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.
