It was before 8 pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry night, it had not ceased raining! Paul and me were resting there talking about the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the 6th call for the day to arrive. In due time we had the phone call from a girl on a business expedition who had pulled into the Texaco petrol station in Hepple and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel husband's Fiat 500 lease car by mistake. She was quite troubled by the sounds of it, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have ruined the car! I am just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I totally forgot that I was running a diesel!" I asked her to relax and not to worry, also that such things can happen. She managed to get the car to a protected spot and, seeing that it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could reach the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could return to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth it seeing her drive away satisfied and much less apprehensive. Another job in Northumberland done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a vehicle parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.


Wrong Fuel in Car in NE65 Postcode - Hepple Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a quality night's sleep! 7:00 on a sunny Wednesday and I was on the way to assist an older sweetheart after she put the wrong fuel in her diesel black Citron Zara in Hepple. I'd been informed she drove away from the petrol station and was stranded in a backwater lane on the way to visit her godchildren. I popped her location in the Satnav and arrived in less than 60 minutes. I reached the destination and removed the wrong fuel from the vehicle. While I was working she said, "I'm becoming rather absent-minded in my old age and didn't remember about the car needing diesel because I had just bought it a week back when my old car, which I'd had for more than 25 years, eventually stopped working". I finished the drain and she gifted me a toffee and said thanks. Such a delightful Northumberland woman!

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.
