It was after five pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring! James and I were resting talking about the tennis, prepared for the 6th fuel drain for the day to come in. In due time we got a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had pulled into the BP filling garage in High Shaw and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel beautiful Hyundai HED-5 rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was very troubled apparently, telling me "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a secure area and, seeing as it was no more than a few minutes off from the office, we were able to get to the customer quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could return to the Premier Inn she was lodging in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home calm and not so apprehensive. One more job in North Yorkshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important situation to handle in a car - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel will often contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both circumstances pretty expediently.

Remember that if the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and unusable.

Boat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to parking spot we are able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.


Wrong Fuel in Car in DL8 Postcode - High Shaw Misfueling

What a fantastic night of uninterrupted sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a warm Sunday and I was on the way to help an elder woman who put contaminated fuel in her diesel rugged Land Rover Discovery Series II in High Shaw. She told us that she had driven away from the petrol station forecourt and stranded on a country road on route to pay a visit to her family. I punched her location straight into the TomTom and got there within an hour or so. I reached the car and extracted the contaminated fuel from the car. While I was doing the drain she explained, "Now I'm becoming relatively absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle taking diesel as I'd just got it a short while ago because my other one, which I'd owned for about 25 years, finally broke down". I got the drain done and she presented me a Murray mint and said thank you. Such a pleasant North Yorkshire lady!

I had a terrific afternoon golfing on my off day and was feeling contented with myself the following morning as I headed out to help a new family on holiday in High Shaw. They'd stopped after inserting petrol into their modern Mercedes Sprinter, and were around half an hour's drive away. I emerged at their location and smiled to myself as I listened to the lady berating her man for actually being so silly. "Precisely how could you even be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to tell her that this problem takes place all the time in North Yorkshire and that it's really absolutely nothing to fret about, even so he still got an ear bashing. I felt genuine sympathy for the boy. Anyway, I extracted the polluted fuel, flushed the engine and filled it up with the right fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted good bye and thought about what my missus would ask me if perhaps I did the same thing... I'd personally never hear the end of it!

Wrong Fuel in Car North Yorkshire - Petrol in Diesel Car High Shaw

Now I am not too hot for working on weekends, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I'd just departed the wife and kids filled with a tasty roast made for us by the better half, and I was en route to sort out a man after he put the incorrect fuel in his bright yellow Audi Coupe GT. He was located in High Shaw therefore I was with him very quickly. Just as I arrived behind the vehicle and got out he explained to me "Thank God! I stupidly had my attention on other stuff and didn't grasp that I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Have I caused any damage as a result of driving it?" I stated generally there should not be any kind of problems and that I would personally remove the wrong fuel right away. Naturally I removed the fuel from the vehicle and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and so yet another contented motorist had the ability to continue on his journey without any bother. He did not stop saying thanks to me, and this makes carrying out work on Sundays in North Yorkshire a little easier for me personally!

A young lady from High Shaw with a full car of youngsters in her diesel black Suzuki Verona had filled her vehicle with £40 of petrol at the Co Op service station. She phoned us sobbing and genuinely worried as she had never wrong fueled before and did not know what would happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that everything would be ok and that she would be back up and running quickly. When we arrived on scene she was still upset but while our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She soon cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my bad luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the children on board."

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.
