It was before 9 pm on a Friday and although we were guaranteed a dry and fresh day, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and I were seated there commenting on the recent sports rankings, ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Before long we had the phone call from a young lady on a company expedition who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Bugbrooke and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel navy blue Suzuki Samurai rental car by mistake. She was pretty distressed by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I have destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car I completely forgot that I was running a diesel!" We told her to calm down and not to worry, also that such things unfortunately do happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a safe area and, because it was no more than a few miles off from the office, we were able to find the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was living at.

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Have a fuel reservoir lying in the back of your premises with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We could assist you to dispose of it. We have been called out to several privately owned and business properties in Northamptonshire to take care of draining and recycling fuel storages. We are licenced by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or even a number of drums in a garage, as long as we are able to reach it, we can certainly empty it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel can easily trigger idling issues, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances fairly simply.

You should know though that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

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 VAT 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.
