It was just after five pm on a Thursday and even though we were promised a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were resting there talking about the weekend's footy results, waiting for the 8th telephone call to come in. Eventually we had a phone call from a young lady on a business excursion who had gone to the Tesco filling station in Hatton Hill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel husband's Skoda Yeti rental in error. She was fairly distressed by the sounds of it, telling me "I can not believe I've wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was running a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to be concerned, and also that such things can happen. She had managed to get the vehicle into a safe area and, as it was only a few minutes off from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed so she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got really soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive off satisfied and not so stressed. Another job in Surrey well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to parking bay we can reach the storage and drain out the fuel. We have undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant matter to take care of in an automobile - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the fuel may lead to idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not sorted out effectively, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out compared to water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both cases fairly swiftly.

Remember however that in the event that the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted since the previous one will be totally wet and ineffective.

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.
