It was after 6 pm on a Friday and even though we were assured a dry afternoon, it had not given up on pouring down rain! Ray and me were resting there going over the football results, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain of the day to come in. Eventually we received the call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Shell petrol station in Urchfont and put petrol in a diesel grey Land Rover Discovery Series II lease car by mistake. The poor thing was very affected by the sounds of it, stating "I can't believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so used to putting petrol in my petrol vehicle that I had forgot I was driving a diesel!" I instructed her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that things like this sadly do happen.

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to handle in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol will often bring about idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of correctly, quite possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both situations fairly easily.

Keep in mind however that if the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be installed since the previous one is going to be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Waste Fuel Removal

Got a fuel tank placed at the rear of the garden with unwanted, unusable or degraded fuel? We can help you to dispose of it. We have been called out to numerous private and commercial properties in Wiltshire to take care of taking away and recycling fuel storages.

I'd had a fantastic day hiking on my afternoon off and was feeling satisfied the next day as I was en route to assist a new family away in Urchfont. They'd pulled over after filling the wrong fuel in their brand new Fiat Multipla, and the car was roughly an hour's travel away. I got there at their location and smirked to myself while I heard to the wife chastising her partner for actually being so silly. "Just how could you possibly be able to put the wrong fuel in the vehicle?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this problem happens regularly in Wiltshire and that it's in reality nothing at all to be concerned about, and yet he all the same had an earful. Unfortunate boy. Anyways, I removed all of the contaminated fuel, flushed the engine and gave them some proper fuel. As they drove away I waved bon voyage and thought about what my wife would say to me if I did the exact same thing... I would personally never live it down!

It truly was the graveyard shift. It was close to 3:30 in the morning and hardly anyone was about. It had become pretty uneventful thus far, and me and John were relaxing looking through some old articles. It was an unusual restful time in Wiltshire. Actually it was in fact that relaxing that the instant my mobile rang I leaped! The voice on the opposite end stated: "I have only just completed my evening shift and foolishly filled the wrong fuel in the diesel shiny Vauxhall Vivaro by mistake". I asked him to let us know where he was and we headed out, reaching him in Urchfont less than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine. He said thanks a lot for coming so rapidly. As we were heading back to the office we found two ladies on the edge of the street who appeared to have a flat. As a result we stopped and helped them change it, to their elation.

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.
