It was before 6 pm on a Thursday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless afternoon, it hadn't given up on raining! Paul and me were relaxing commenting on the rugby rankings, ready for the 8th telephone call for the day to arrive. Eventually we received the phone call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Tote Hill and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel trusty BMW X3 lease car. She was rather irritated apparently, crying "I simply cannot believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with filling my petrol car I completely forgot I was running a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things do happen.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly a serious matter to deal with in a car - specifically in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel will produce idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with correctly, potentially broken injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations rather swiftly.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle was run on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will undoubtedly be completely wet and ineffective.

Boat Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close to parking spot we can gain access to the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Tote Hill

I am certainly not so interested in carrying out work on Sundays, and 2 weeks ago was no different. I'd only just come away from home after having a wonderful Sunday roast made for us by the missus, and I was on my way to help a man who had filled the incorrect fuel in his bright white Mazda MX-3. He was somewhere in Tote Hill therefore it wouldn't be a long time before I got to him. As I arrived behind the vehicle and started work he told me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my thoughts on other things and didn't grasp that I'd put the wrong fuel in my petrol car. Is it likely I brought on some damage simply by starting it?" I stated there probably should not be problems and also I would get the contaminated fuel drained as quickly as possible for him. As expected I removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle and put in some appropriate fuel, and then another contented customer was able to continue his ride without bother. The gentleman could hardly stop saying thanks to me, and that is what tends to make working on Sundays in West Sussex just a little bit easier for me!

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.
