It was about 8 pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless day, it hadn't ceased raining! Mark and I were seated there talking about the football results, prepared for the 6th call of the day to come in. Inevitably we got a call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Barwell and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel stylish MINI Countryman rental car in error. The poor thing was somewhat troubled it seemed, saying "I still can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this can happen. She was able to get the car into a safe position and, because it was just a short distance off from the office, we could arrive at the lady quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out so she could get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to handle in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your fuel tank is going to trigger idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed correctly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases pretty quickly.

Keep in mind that in the event that the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've successfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas 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.
