She was quite affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can not believe that I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was operating a diesel!"

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help remove it. Provided that the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded or diesel, is generally an important matter to deal with in a vehicle - specifically in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank will likely bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, in some cases damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can solve both situations fairly swiftly.

Take note though that as long as the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Wrong Fuel Assist Gayton - Wrong Fuel in Car Gayton

I enjoyed a perfect evening hiking during my off day and felt delighted the next morning as I set out to assist a new family vacationing in Gayton. They'd stopped after inserting the wrong fuel in their luxury Volkswagen Jetta III, and they were close to half an hour's drive away. I got there at their car and laughed to myself as I listened to the wife berating her husband for being so foolish. "How could you actually be able to put the wrong fuel in the car?" she asked him. I attempted to tell her that this goes on continuously in Staffordshire and that it's nothing to get worried about, even so he still had his ear bent by his wife. Poor chap. Anyway, I cleaned up and removed all of the polluted fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. While watching them drive away I shouted so long and thought about what my wife would do to me if ever I did the same thing... I'd personally never ever hear the end of it!

It truly was the graveyard shift. It was about sunrise and almost noone was around. It had been pretty quiet so far, and me and John were loafing looking at a number of old magazines. This was an unusual tranquil time in Staffordshire. It was so peaceful that the instant the phone rang it made me start! The person stated: "I have only just finished my evening shift and foolishly put the wrong fuel in a metallic yellow Citron Picasso". We got him to tell us where the vehicle was and we left, ending up in Gayton under 30 minutes later. The fuel was cleaned up and removed from the car. He said thanks for coming out so fast. While we were coming back to the office we saw two women on the edge of the street who looked like they suffered a flat. As a result we got out to help them change it, to their elation.

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.
