It was around 8 pm on a Wednesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Dan and I were seated commenting on the football, waiting for the 6th job to come in. Finally we had the call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol garage in Leaves Green and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel brother's Bugatti Veyron rental car. The poor thing was rather distressed it seemed, saying "I simply can't believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to fret, plus that things like this regrettably do happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a secure position and, because it was just a few minutes from where we were, we were able to reach the woman quickly. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was residing at.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will often cause idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can take care of both circumstances quite swiftly.

Remember though that if the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing as the previous one will probably be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

What a fantastic night of sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a bright Wednesday and I was en route to help an old lady who had put the wrong fuel in her diesel dad's Jaguar XK Series in Leaves Green. I had been advised she had left the petrol station forecourt and stranded along a country lane along the way to see her family. I got the location punched straight into the TomTom and was on-scene inside an hour or so. I turned up at the destination and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was working she said to me, "I am getting somewhat absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel seeing that I had just acquired it a few days ago because my former car, which I had had for more than 30 years, inevitably broke down". I got the job done and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a pleasant Bromley lady!

A gentleman rang us from his house on a close in Leaves Green. He pronounced, "My car (a aunt's BMW X6) is not running and is creating very bad noises when I turn the ignition." He admitted that he put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle but then believed he would solve the problem by putting further Diesel on top. We were on scene promptly, carried out the drain and filled it up again with fresh Diesel. He told us he would be sure to advise people not to fill up over the wrong fuel but to get it cleaned out immediately.

This was most definitely the graveyard shift. It was around 2 in the morning and nobody was about. It was pretty dead so far, and John and I were sitting around perusing some old papers. That was an unusual tranquil time in Bromley. Actually it was that quiet that the moment the phone ultimately rang I leaped with surprise! The person stated: "I've concluded my night shift and foolishly put petrol in a green Mercedes SL65 AMG in error". We instructed him to tell us just where the car was located and we set off, ending up in Leaves Green not as much as an hour later. The fuel was extracted from the motor. He thanked us for getting there so rapidly. As we were returning to base we noticed two girls on the side of the street who seemed to have a puncture. As a result we stopped and helped them change it, much to their elation.

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.
