It was just after 7 pm on a Tuesday and though we were guaranteed a rainless day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and I were relaxing going over the recent footy results, ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Priest Down and put the wrong fuel in her diesel clean white Land Rover Range Rover Evoque lease car in error. She was fairly agitated apparently, saying "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I had did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to move the car into a secure area and, as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to reach the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact that we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to see her drive off calm and not so concerned. One more fuel drain in Somerset well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is generally an important condition to handle in an automobile - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel will contribute to idling issues, uneven running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both cases very quickly.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking bay we can gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

The driver of a mum's Mazda Navajo was sorry that he put unleaded in his diesel vehicle when he got onto the street and it coughed and ground to a halt. "I've gone and put petrol in my diesel vehicle," is what he said to us the very first time he called. To tell the truth, when he first contacted us he said he would like to research prices, but he phoned us back before long because our pricing and arrival times were the most appropriate. Not surprisingly, our engineer had him again performing his deliveries well within the time we had estimated.

Yesterday a youngster telephoned us when his mate's Volvo C70 broke down along a street in Priest Down.

No one likes conking out in a vehicle contaminated with the wrong fuel in the middle of the road. Our last customer who put contaminated fuel in her car (stylish Dodge Colt) in Priest Down encountered precisely that kind of headache: "You may already know that I mistakenly filled my car with the wrong fuel last week. I was so bothered about contaminating my fuel that I was actually in tears. Fortunately I shouldn't have concerned myself since you were outstanding in resolving my problem."

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.
