It was just before seven pm on a Wednesday and though we were promised a rainless evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting there going over the weekend's sports results, prepared for the sixth call that day to arrive. In due time we received a call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in Adbolton and filled petrol in a diesel rugged Peugeot Partner rental. She was quite affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, plus that such things unfortunately do happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was no more than a short distance from our van, we were able to reach the customer swiftly. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could get back to the hotel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off satisfied and not so apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Nottinghamshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question a significant issue to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank is likely to produce idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not addressed properly, oftentimes blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both situations fairly expediently.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be totally wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car parking spot we can reach the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel Assist Adbolton - Wrong Fuel in Car Adbolton

I had enjoyed a great day hiking on my off day and felt delighted with myself the next day as I set off to assist a new family on vacation in Adbolton. They had broken down after filling petrol into their partner's Jaguar XF, and the car was roughly half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and smiled while I listened to the gal telling off her partner for being so foolish. "How could you possibly be able to fill the car up by using the wrong fuel?" she demanded of him. I attempted to tell her that this situation comes to pass everyday in Nottinghamshire and that it's truly nothing to get worried about, and yet he all the same got his ear bent by his missus. I felt sorry for the lad. At any rate, I drained out all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the motor and filled them up with the correct fuel. While they drove off I shouted goodbye and wondered what her indoors would say to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally under no circumstances hear the end of it!

A driver from Adbolton with her youngsters in her diesel trusty Lexus IS F had filled her vehicle with £40 of petrol at the Sainsburys service station. She called us weeping and very upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel previously and did not know what could happen to her vehicle because of it. We told her that all should be alright and that she would be up and running soon. When we got there she was still distressed but as our engineer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down since she saw that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough cheered up and was on her way saying, "I simply can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the kids in the back."

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.
