It was just before 7 pm on a Tuesday and although we were assured a rainless night, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Mark and me were seated talking about the sports results, at the ready for the seventh telephone call to come in. Finally we received a call from a lady on a company trip who had arrived at the Shell filling station in Reepham and filled petrol in a diesel friend's BMW 7 Series hire car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly affected it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I have ruined the car!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is definitely a serious condition to take care of in a vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may bring about idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not addressed fully, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to drain than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both circumstances rather swiftly.

Be aware though that as long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will probably be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated close enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've successfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

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.
