It was just before 8 pm on a Thursday and though we were promised a rainless night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were resting commenting on the recent footy, ready for the next call of the day to arrive. Before long we had a call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Sandilands and put petrol in her diesel rust red Nissan Leaf rental car. The poor thing was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I still can't believe I've wrecked the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol car I totally forgot I was running a diesel!" We instructed her to relax and not to worry, plus that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to get the car into a secure spot and, as it was no more than a few miles away from us, we were able to arrive at the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she was able to return to the Travelodge she was residing at.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important situation to deal with in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel will likely lead to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to drain than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can handle both circumstances very quickly.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to an automobile parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

This was most definitely what is called the graveyard shift. It was about dawn and hardly anyone was about. It had become quite quiet until now, and Ray and I were sitting perusing some old articles. This was a rare tranquil time in Lincolnshire. Actually it was so relaxing that the moment the phone eventually rang I jumped! The motorist stated: "I have just completed my night shift and incredibly filled the wrong fuel in my diesel company's Chrysler Grand Voyager by mistake". I told him to tell us where the vehicle was and we left, ending up in Sandilands not as much as half an hour later. The wrong fuel was extracted from the vehicle. He thanked us profusely for arriving so rapidly. While we were returning to the office we noticed two girls on the edge of the road who appeared to have a puncture. So we got out to change it, 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 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.
