It was just before 9 pm on a Saturday and though we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated going over the sports rankings, prepared for the seventh job to arrive. Finally we received the phone call from a young lady on a company trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Mill Hill and filled petrol in her diesel mint condition BMW 3 Series lease car by mistake. She was pretty troubled apparently, stating "I can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot I was driving a diesel!" We advised her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things unfortunately often happen. She managed to maneuver the car into a protected spot and, because it was no more than a few minutes off from our van, we could arrive at her quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got pretty wet, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off calm and much less stressed. One more job in Lincolnshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious condition to address in a car - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol is going to trigger idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both circumstances fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to parking spot we can access the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

A relatively alarmed driver phoned us from the Total petrol station at Lincolnshire to inform us that he put unleaded into his diesel mom's Honda Accord; he wasn't entirely certain how he'd done it.

Having taken out the incorrect fuel, he was subsequently back driving. He told us; "I can't believe I put the wrong fuel in my car.

Wrong Fuel in Car Lincolnshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Mill Hill

I wouldn't like being stranded in a vehicle full of the wrong fuel halfway down the road. One of our last customers who filled her car with the incorrect fuel (creamy white Chevrolet Corsica) in Mill Hill had precisely that kind of dilemma: "Your man moved my car from the road. He removed the wrong fuel from it and had it functioning once more within thirty-five minutes. Couldn't recommend you more."

Wrong Fuel Doctor Mill Hill - Fuel Rescue Mill Hill

A woman from Mill Hill with a full car of youngsters in her diesel compact Ford Fusion had put £20 of petrol at the Shell station. She called us sobbing and extremely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car previously and didn't know what could happen to her car . We reassured her that everything would be ok and that she would be back on the road in no time at all. When we got there she was visible upset but while our fuel drainer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She quickly cheered up and was on her way saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the youngsters in the back."

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.
