It was close to eight pm on a Wednesday and although we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were seated discussing the weekend's rugby rankings, prepared for the next fuel drain to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lady on a business expedition who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Dunkirk and filled petrol in her diesel brother's VW GTI lease car by mistake. The poor lady was fairly affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe I've destroyed the car! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol car I had forgot I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to settle back and not to fret, and that such things regrettably happen. She was able to get the vehicle into a safe space and, since it was only a few minutes from us, we were able to reach the woman fairly quickly. The incorrect fuel was taken out and she could return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got really soaked, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive away calm and much less anxious. A misfuel correction in Staffordshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, can be a serious situation to deal with in a vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel tank can lead to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to drain in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. However we can handle both situations pretty easily.

Be aware however that if ever the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will likely be totally wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to reach the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

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.
