It was just before six pm on a Thursday and while we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Ray and I were seated going over the weekend's golf rankings, waiting for the 8th job that day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Orlingbury and put petrol in her diesel navy blue MINI Cooper Clubman lease car in error. She was pretty distressed it seemed, stating "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, and also that things like this regrettably happen.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a car parking spot we can gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely an important condition to address in a vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank can potentially produce idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both situations pretty swiftly.

Remember though that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and useless.

I had appreciated a wonderful evening golfing on my day off and was feeling cheerful with myself the next morning as I headed out to help a young family who were vacationing in Orlingbury. They'd pulled over after inserting petrol into their metallic grey BMW 760, and were close to an hour away. I got there at their position and smiled as I heard to the girl chastising her spouse for being so confused. "How could you possibly be able to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this occurs continuously in Northamptonshire and that it is absolutely nothing to worry about, but he all the same got his ear bent. Unlucky guy. Anyways, I removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some proper fuel. Watching them drive down the road I shouted good bye and pondered on what my missus would tell me if ever I made the same blunder... I would never ever live it down!

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.
