It was close to 6 pm on a Saturday and although we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Ryan and I were resting talking about the recent rugby results, ready for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we had the call from a young lady on a company trip who had pulled into the BP filling station in High Ercall and put the wrong fuel in a diesel super Mazda929 lease car. She was very troubled it seemed, telling me "I simply cannot believe that I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I completely did not remember I was using a diesel!" We asked her to settle back and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing that it was only a few minutes off from the office, we could find the lady quickly. The bad fuel was taken out and she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got very wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away satisfied and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in Shropshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is generally a significant matter to deal with in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can potentially bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied correctly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances pretty easily.

Bear in mind that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or moored close to a car parking spot we are able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

A young person who had recently passed his driving test had misfueled his creamy white Mazda B2600 by putting unleaded in his diesel car at the filling station near High Ercall. He said, "This is just the second occasion I have fueled my car from the time when I bought it and I don't know how to handle it." He was also scared as his father had only just bought him the car. He located our company on the net and so called it instantly, frightened about what he needed to do. Our guy on the call advised him that we would be there in forty-five minutes and to not do anything to the vehicle while he waited.

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.
