It was just before 5 pm on a Monday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring! James and I were sitting going over the sports results, waiting around for the next fuel drain for the day to arrive. Eventually we got a phone call from a lovely women on a business expedition who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Stockley and put the wrong fuel in a diesel dark blue BMW 530 hire car in error. The poor thing was fairly affected by the sounds of it, stating "I just can't believe that I have messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car that I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that such things unfortunately can happen. She was able to move the vehicle into a protected space and, as it was only a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to her without delay. The wrong fuel was extracted and she was able to once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact that we got thoroughly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and not so concerned. A job in Wiltshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it is unleaded or diesel, can be a significant issue to deal with in a car - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel will often contribute to idling issues, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can solve both situations fairly easily.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be completely wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or situated close to a vehicle parking bay we are able to access the tanks and remove the fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Stockley

I am not necessarily excessively hot for doing work on Sundays, and last week was the same. I had only just come away from home after a magnificent Sunday roast made by the missus, and I was on my way to sort out a man who had filled the wrong petrol in his well worn BMW Z3. He was stationed in Stockley therefore it wouldn't be long before I arrived with him. Just as I arrived right behind the vehicle and got out he told me "Thank the Lord! I had my concentration on stuff and did not ascertain I've put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about any kind of damage through starting it?" I said that truth be told there shouldn't be any harm and also I'd personally get the contaminated fuel drained quickly. Obviously I got the contaminated fuel drained from the vehicle and filled up with some correct fuel, and so another contented customer was able to continue on his trip with no bother. He couldn't stop thanking me, and that can make operating on Sundays in Wiltshire just that little bit better to 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.
