It was close to 5 pm on a Friday and although we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not given up on raining! James and I were resting there discussing the weekend's football, ready for the 6th fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell filling garage in Stratford St Mary and put petrol in her diesel well worn Peugeot 306 rental car. The unfortunate lady was fairly agitated it seemed, stating "I simply can't believe I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" We told her to settle back and not to fret, plus that these things regrettably often happen. She managed to move the car into a secure position and, since it was just a few miles from our van, we could find the lady without delay. The incorrect fuel was removed and she was able to go home to the hotel she was living in. Although we got extremely soaked, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off satisfied and less stressed. A misfuel correction in Suffolk done well in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's unleaded or diesel, is undoubtedly a significant condition to take care of in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank can potentially trigger idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not taken care of correctly, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to deal with both cases quite quickly.

Take note though that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the wrong fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking bay we should be able to access the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

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.
