It was about eight pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were guaranteed a dry evening, it hadn't stopped raining! Mark and me were relaxing there discussing the recent tennis, ready for the seventh fuel drain of the day to arrive. Eventually we had a phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Tesco filling station in Little Heath and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel bright white VW Touareg 2 rental car. The poor lady was pretty irritated apparently, telling me "I just can't believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely didn't remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things do happen.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel reservoir at the rear of the garden containing unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We're able to assist you to get rid of it. We have been called out to a number of privately owned and business premises in Surrey for the purpose of draining and disposing of fuel storages. We are registered by the Environment Agency to be able to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is an underground tank, a portable bowser, or perhaps a number of containers in an outbuilding, as long as we are able to access it, we are able to drain it for you.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is actually a serious situation to deal with in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel is likely to produce idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to clean out as compared with water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both cases very easily.

Bear in mind however that as long as the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be totally water-logged and useless.

This was certainly the night shift. It was about dawn and hardly anyone was about. It had been quite quiet up to now, and John and I were relaxing reading a number of old articles. This was a rare restful moment in Surrey. It was indeed so relaxing that the instant the phone rang it made me jump! The person said: "I completed my overnight shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel dark red Toyota RAV4 by mistake". We told him to let us know where exactly the vehicle was and we headed out, arriving in Little Heath less than half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned from the engine. He thanked us profusely for coming so rapidly. While we were going back to base we found two ladies at the side of the road who seemed like they suffered a flat tyre.

  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.
