It was just before six pm on a Saturday and while we were guaranteed a dry and fresh evening, it had not stopped raining! Ryan and me were seated talking about the recent rugby, waiting for the sixth call that day to come in. Before long we got a call from a girl on a business expedition who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Monkton Combe and filled petrol in a diesel grey BMW M Roadster lease car. The unfortunate lady was rather affected apparently, saying "I just can't believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was running a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to worry, and that these things regrettably often happen. She was able to relocate the vehicle into a safe spot and, since it was just a few minutes from the office, we could arrive at her right away. The wrong fuel was removed and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Even though we got really wet, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and a lot less apprehensive. Yet another fuel drain in Somerset done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious issue to address in a motor vehicle - specifically in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol will likely lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we can resolve both circumstances fairly expediently.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

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.
