It was about six pm on a Saturday and although we were assured a rainless evening, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! Paul and me were relaxing there talking over the golf rankings, ready for the 8th fuel drain that day to arrive. Finally we had the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the BP petrol station in Newburn and filled petrol in a diesel green Kia Rio5 rental. She was quite troubled it seemed, stating "I just can't believe I've messed up the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I advised her to settle back and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably happen.

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant issue to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in fuel tank is going to contribute to idling issues, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. However we can resolve both circumstances rather quickly.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been started with the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed since the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel Assist Newburn - Wrong Fuel in Car Newburn

I had a perfect afternoon hiking on my afternoon off and felt pleased the following morning as I was on the way to aid a young family who were vacationing in Newburn. They'd stopped after adding diesel in their beautiful Volvo S90, and were approximately an hour's travel away. I emerged at their position and laughed to myself while I listened to the woman telling her hubby off for actually being so stupid. "Just how could you actually be able to fill the car up using the wrong fuel?" she told him. I wanted to clarify that this kind of thing takes place all the time in Tyne and Wear and that it's actually nothing to be anxious about, and yet he all the same had his ear bent by his better half. Poor guy. At any rate, I extracted all the polluted fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the proper fuel. Watching while they drove down the road I shouted so long and pondered on what my missus would ask me if perhaps I made the exact same error... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

A driver from Newburn with a full car of kids in her diesel mustard yellow Mitsubishi Chariot had filled her vehicle with £20 of petrol at the Shell petrol station. She phoned us crying and really upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what could happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that the vehicle would be ok and that she would be on the road soon. When we arrived on scene she was still distressed but while our engineer started work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she recognised that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't ruined.

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.
