It was about 5 pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a rainless day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Dan and me were seated commenting on the football rankings, waiting around for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Great Moor and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel deep grey Mazda Navajo rental car. The poor thing was pretty distressed apparently, crying "I simply can't believe that I've destroyed the car! I am so familiar with filling up my petrol car that I totally forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that things like this unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the vehicle to a secure spot and, seeing as it was just a few minutes away from the office, we were able to reach the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to return to the Travelodge she was staying at. Although we got really wet, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and much less apprehensive. One more fuel drain in Staffordshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near to a vehicle parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've successfully done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a serious issue to address in an automobile - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not remedied correctly, potentially damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to remove than water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both situations fairly easily.

Be aware though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.


Wrong Fuel in Car in WV6 Postcode - Great Moor Misfueling

Ahhh, that was a great night of sleep! It was 7:00 in the morning on a rainy Tuesday and we were off to assist an old lovely lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel dark red Volkswagen GTI in Great Moor. I'd been told she had left the filling station forecourt and was pulled up along a backwater road along the way to visit her grandchildren. I plugged the location in the TomTom and got there in less than an hour or so. I got to the stricken lady and removed the wrong fuel in the car vehicle. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "I am becoming relatively forgetful in my senior years and didn't remember about the car needing diesel because I had only just got it a week ago after my old car, which I used for about thirty years, finally died". I got the job completed and she gifted me a Murray mint and said thanks a lot. What a delightful Staffordshire woman!

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.
