It was around 6 pm on a Monday and though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and me were sitting there discussing the weekend's football rankings, ready for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Finally we got a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Clifton and put the wrong fuel in her diesel silver Mercedes E-Class hire car. She was quite agitated apparently, telling me "I can not believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things regrettably happen. She was able to get the car to a safe position and, seeing as it was just a few miles from where we were, we could arrive at her almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could return to the Travelodge she was lodging in.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured near enough to an automobile parking spot we should be able to gain access to the tanks and remove the fuel. We've undertaken quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is without question a serious condition to deal with in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel is going to bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not dealt with fully, potentially broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both situations quite simply.

Bear in mind though that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

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.
