It was after eight pm on a Wednesday and while we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and I were sitting talking over the weekend's footy rankings, waiting for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a young lady on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Blyton and filled petrol in a diesel rugged Mercedes-Benz S-Class rental car in error. She was quite irritated apparently, stating "I can not believe that I have wrecked the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, also that things like this can happen. She had managed to relocate the car to a protected space and, seeing that it was only a short distance off from us, we could get to the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was drained so she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all worth it to watch her drive off contented and much less stressed. Another job in Lincolnshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally a serious issue to handle in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank is likely to bring about idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to drain compared to water in diesel - this is primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to deal with both circumstances very swiftly.

Be aware that so long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close enough to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have completed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

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.
