It was after ten pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a rainless day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Ryan and me were seated talking over the weekend's rugby results, waiting around for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a woman on a business trip who had arrived at the BP filling garage in Stradsett and put petrol in her diesel mum's Volvo V90 hire car in error. She was quite distressed apparently, crying "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" We advised her to relax and not to worry, and also that such things happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may bring about idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to take care of both circumstances fairly swiftly.

Bear in mind though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to a car or truck parking bay we are able to reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

I arrived at the vehicle and extracted the contaminated fuel in the car vehicle.

It truly was an unsociable time to be up. It was around dawn and almost noone was about. It was quite dead so far, and me and Paul were loafing about looking through some old magazines. It was a rare calm hour in Norfolk. It was in fact so peaceful that the instant my mobile rang I leaped with surprise! The person told me: "I just completed my overnight shift and stupidly put petrol in the diesel luxury Alfa Romeo164 in error". We got him to inform us just where he was located and we hit the road, reaching him in Stradsett under an hour later. The incorrect fuel was extracted from the car and he thanked us for coming out so quickly. While we were going back to the depot we found two women at the side of the street who seemed to have a flat tyre. Accordingly we stopped to change it, to their delight.

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.
