It was about 7 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a dry afternoon, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing there talking about the recent tennis results, prepared for the seventh fuel drain that day to come in. Finally we got a call from a lady on a company trip who had gone to the BP filling garage in Broombank and filled petrol in her diesel friend's Peugeot 3008 lease car by mistake. She was fairly troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've destroyed the car! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely didn't remember I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to relax and not to worry, plus that these things regrettably happen. She was able to get the vehicle to a secure space and, as it was only a few minutes away from our van, we were able to find the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she could return to the motel she was residing at. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home contented and less apprehensive. Another misfuel correction in Worcestershire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to access the storage and remove the fuel. We've successfully done many fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to take care of in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol may well contribute to idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out fully, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we can handle both circumstances fairly simply.

Be aware however that so long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

A customer from Broombank with her kids in her diesel compact Cadillac XLR-V had filled her car with £42 of petrol at the Tesco filling station. She phoned us crying and very distraught as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what would happen to her car in doing so. We assured her that the vehicle should be ok and that she would be back ready to go soon. When we arrived she was visible distressed but while our engineer got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down because she saw that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't wrecked. She soon enough brightened up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my vehicle! Specifically with the little ones on board."

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.
