Before long we received the phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Esso petrol garage in Homington and put petrol in a diesel faithful BMW X6 rental car by mistake.

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious issue to address in an automobile - particularly in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel will often produce idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to drain as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to handle both situations pretty swiftly.

Bear in mind however that whenever the vehicle has been started on the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted since the old one will undoubtedly be completely wet and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked close enough to parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have performed quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel Assist Homington - Wrong Fuel in Car Homington

I had a great day hiking during the weekend and was feeling satisfied with myself the following working day as I headed out to aid a new family who were on vacation in Homington. They conked out after filling diesel in their metallic silver Porsche 911, and were around an hour away. I got there at their location and smirked while I listened to the wife telling her man off for turning out to be so daft. "Precisely how could you conceivably manage to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she asked him. I wanted to tell her that this problem happens on a regular basis in Wiltshire and that it's nothing to get worried about, even so he still had an ear bashing. Unfortunate chap. At any rate, I drained out the wrong fuel, flushed the fuel system and filled it up with the correct fuel. While watching them drive down the road I shouted good bye and wondered what my wife would tell me in the event that I did the same thing... I'd under no circumstances hear the end of it!

A lady from Homington with a full car of children in her diesel rust red Lexus IS-F had put £20 of petrol at the Texaco petrol station. She contacted us weeping and very distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel and didn't know what might happen to her car because of it. We reassured her that everything should be ok and that she would be in action very quickly. When we got there she was still distressed but while our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she discovered that something could be done and her car wasn't unfixable.

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.
