It was close to 6 pm on a Wednesday and though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Brian and I were relaxing there discussing the weekend's footy results, at the ready for the 6th call to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a lady on a company expedition who had gone to the BP filling station in Stockton and filled petrol in a diesel metallic green Hyundai Genesis hire car in error. She was quite affected by the sounds of it, saying "I simply can't believe I have wrecked the car! I am just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things sadly happen. She was able to maneuver the car to a safe space and, as it was just a few miles off from our van, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The incorrect fuel was extracted and she could return to the Premier Inn she was residing in. Despite the fact we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off relaxed and less apprehensive. A fuel drain in Warwickshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or secured close to a car parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant situation to deal with in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will often contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can handle both situations rather expediently.

You should know that if the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted simply because the old one will likely be completely wet and unusable.

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.
