It was before seven pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and I were resting there commenting on the recent golf rankings, prepared for the 6th fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we received the phone call from a girl on a company excursion who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Scalby and put the wrong fuel in her diesel new-shape Mercedes R-Class rental. She was fairly distressed apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was using a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to fret, also that such things sadly do happen.

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the fuel will often lead to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases fairly quickly.

Take note though that so long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be completely wet and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either on land, or secured near to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed 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.
