The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded or diesel, is actually a significant matter to handle in an automobile - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol can easily result in idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, in some cases broken injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out than water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases fairly quickly.

Keep in mind however that if ever the vehicle was started on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and useless.

Just had a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 in the morning on a warm Tuesday and we were off to assist an older sweetheart after she had put petrol in her diesel mustard yellow Range Rover in Ratford. She told us that she had left the petrol station forecourt and was broken down in a rural road en route to pay a visit to her family. I popped the location in the Satnav and was with her inside an hour. I got to the destination and drained the contaminated fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she explained, "I'm getting quite absent-minded in my senior years and forgot about the vehicle working with diesel seeing that I had just acquired it several days ago after my old one, which I'd had for over thirty years, inevitably stopped working". I got the job done and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my work. Such a pleasant Wiltshire woman!

It truly was the graveyard shift. It was close to 2am and noone was around. It was fairly uneventful up to now, and Ray and I were loafing reading through a few old newspapers. It was an unusual tranquil hour in Wiltshire. It was indeed so peaceful that when my mobile eventually rang I leaped with surprise! The customer told me: "I just concluded my evening shift and stupidly filled the wrong fuel in a dark green Mitsubishi Endeavor in error". We instructed him to tell us just where the vehicle was and we set off, ending up in Ratford no more than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned from the vehicle and he thanked us for arriving so fast. As we were coming back home we found two young women on the side of the road who seemed to have a puncture.

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.
