It was about seven pm on a Monday and though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Mark and I were sitting there talking about the weekend's rugby results, ready for the sixth telephone call of the day to arrive. In due time we got the call from a young lady on a business expedition who had gone to the BP petrol garage in Greenhill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic grey Mercedes SLK-Class rental by mistake. The poor lady was quite distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to calm down and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly often happen. She was able to maneuver the vehicle to a protected space and, seeing that it was only a few minutes away from our van, we could reach the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could once again go back to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got extremely wet, it was all worth it to see her drive off relaxed and much less apprehensive. One more job in Harrow done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to handle in an automobile - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel may well contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can resolve both situations fairly simply.

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

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. As long as the boat is either on land, or moored near to an automobile parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

The driver of a brother's BMW 530 was sorry that he had put petrol in his diesel automobile when he got onto the road and it coughed and ceased. "I've gone and put petrol in my diesel car," is what he said to us the very first time he rang. In all honesty, when he initially phoned us he said he'd comparison shop, but he phoned us back soon enough because our rate and arrival times were the best. Obviously, our fuel drainer had him once again carrying out his deliveries within the time we'd quoted.

It doesn't matter whether your automobile is brand new or older, we have got the competencies, know-how AND equipment to make sure that your car is cleared out and purged of all the wrong fuel at once, which means that you can go on with your passage with nominal disruption.

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.
