It was around five pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not ceased raining! Mark and I were resting discussing the recent sports, waiting around for the seventh job to arrive. Eventually we had the call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Rushmere St Andrew and put petrol in a diesel pristine BMW Z8 lease car. She was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, telling me "I still cannot believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I totally did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, plus that these things can happen. She managed to move the car to a protected space and, because it was only a short distance off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the hotel she was residing at. Even though we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and a lot less anxious. One more fuel drain in Suffolk done well in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious situation to address in a vehicle - specifically in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank may lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out correctly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both situations very quickly.

Bear in mind that any time the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers 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 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.
