It was just after seven pm on a Thursday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not stopped raining! Ray and I were relaxing there talking about the weekend's tennis results, waiting around for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we received a call from a young lady on a company expedition who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Woodhill and put petrol in her diesel boss' Subaru Outback lease car by mistake. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, stating "I simply cannot believe I have messed up the car! I'm so familiar with filling my petrol car I totally did not remember I was operating a diesel!" We asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and also that such things regrettably can happen. She managed to move the car to a safe spot and, because it was only a few miles from us, we were able to arrive at the customer without delay. The incorrect fuel was drained so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Even though we got very soaked, it was all worth the time seeing her drive home contented and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in Somerset done well in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be an important matter to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol is likely to trigger idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out fully, possibly ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations rather expediently.

Take note though that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that there is the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car Somerset - Petrol in Diesel Car Woodhill

Now I am not ever very enthusiastic about doing the job on Sundays, and the other day was no different. I had just come away from the wife and kids after having a tasty Sunday roast made for us by the better half, and I was off to sort out a guy after he had filled the incorrect fuel in his deep grey Vauxhall Zafira. He was only in Woodhill thus I arrived with him soon. Just as I arrived at the vehicle and stepped out he told me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my concentration on other things and failed to grasp that I had put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. Is it possible I inflicted damage simply by driving it?" I determined that generally there probably should not be harm and also I would remove the fuel at once. Obviously I got the fuel drained from the vehicle and filled it with some appropriate fuel, and thus one more happy motorist had the ability to continue on their journey without any hassle. He couldn't stop thanking me, and that is what helps make operating on weekends in Somerset just that small bit less painful to me!

A young lady from Woodhill with a full car of youngsters in her diesel rugged Skoda had filled her vehicle with £42 of petrol at the Tesco petrol station. She phoned us crying and genuinely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car and did not know what could happen to her vehicle . We reassured her that everything would be ok and that she would be back on the road soon. When we got there she was still upset but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she noticed that help was at hand and her car wasn't ruined. She quickly brightened up and was on her way saying, "I just can't believe my misfortune putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Especially with the little ones in the back."

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.
