It was about 5 pm on a Monday and while we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring! Mark and I were relaxing going over the recent sports, waiting around for the next job that day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lovely women on a company expedition who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Hemington and put the wrong fuel in a diesel creamy white Chevrolet Suburban rental in error. The unfortunate thing was rather agitated apparently, saying "I cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car that I had forgot I was running a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to worry, also that such things regrettably can happen.

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is definitely a serious matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel will often lead to idling issues, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not taken care of properly, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to resolve both cases fairly expediently.

Take note that so long as the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we can gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel Assist Hemington - Wrong Fuel in Car Hemington

I enjoyed a fantastic day golfing on the weekend and felt contented with myself the next day as I headed out to aid a new couple on holiday in Hemington. They'd broken down after putting petrol into their father's Kia Spectra5, and they were approximately an hour away. I arrived at their position and smirked to myself while I heard to the lady telling off her husband for actually being so stupid. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I tried to explain that this kind of thing takes place on daily basis in Somerset and that it's truly nothing to get worried about, and yet he all the same got an ear bashing by his missus. Unfortunate boy. At any rate, I removed all the contaminated fuel, gave the engine a flush and filled them up with the proper fuel. While watching them drive off I shouted so long and wondered what her indoors would do to me if I made the exact same mistake... I would under no circumstances live it down!

Whether you are in a brand spanking new vehicle or an older model, we have the hardware along with expertise to correct the difficulty on the spot. We take out all the incorrect fuel, take care of any issues brought on by the misfueling, and get you going.

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.
