It was close to ten pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not given up on pouring down rain! James and I were relaxing there discussing the football, ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. In due time we received the phone call from a young lady on a company excursion who had pulled into the BP filling station in Mount Pleasant and filled petrol in a diesel luxury Kia Rio rental by mistake. She was somewhat irritated it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the car! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She was able to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was no more than a few miles from the office, we could arrive at her without delay. The incorrect fuel was extracted so she could return to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got extremely drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive away calm and not so concerned. A fuel drain in Norfolk well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious situation to address in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is going to trigger idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases quite simply.

You should know that if the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to access the storage tanks and drain out the fuel.

A young lady employed in Mount Pleasant contacted us shortly after she tried to get her misfueled vehicle to work. She had put petrol in her diesel new-shape Mercedes-Benz CL-Class and, like many people prior to her, thought that she could simply fill up the tank with diesel and it would run no problem. The engine was spluttering and then it cut out when she arrived at the entrance of her office. We promptly started on the fuel drain following her call and got it fixed in an hour or so whilst she was working. She came out later on and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely happy you fixed my car."

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.
