It was just after 5 pm on a Monday and while we were guaranteed a rainless night, it had not ceased raining! Brian and me were relaxing talking about the weekend's rugby rankings, at the ready for the next telephone call of the day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a woman on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Sharpway Gate and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel dirty red Peugeot 307 hire car. The unfortunate lady was pretty irritated it seemed, crying "I just can't believe I have destroyed the car!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is actually a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol will produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to deal with both circumstances quite simply.

You should know though that whenever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one is going to be completely wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or situated near enough to a car parking spot we can access the fuel tanks and remove the fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.


Wrong Fuel in Car in B60 Postcode - Sharpway Gate Misfueling

What a good night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 am on a rainy Sunday and we were on my way to help an older lady after she had put the wrong fuel in her diesel dark red Mazda RX-8 in Sharpway Gate. I had been told she drove away from the petrol station and was stranded along a country road along the way to visit her godchildren. I popped the location straight into the Satnav and was on-scene within 60 minutes. I reached the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel out of the car. While I was doing the work she told me, "I'm getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and did not remember about the car using diesel because I had only bought it a week ago after my previous car, which I had owned for about 25 years, eventually died on me". I finished the job and she gifted me a peppermint and thanked me for my hard work. What a lovely Worcestershire lady!

Wrong Fuel Assist Sharpway Gate - Wrong Fuel in Car Sharpway Gate

I had enjoyed a fantastic day fishing during the weekend and felt satisfied with myself the next working day as I set out to assist a new family who were on vacation in Sharpway Gate. They'd conked out after adding the wrong fuel into their metallic blue Saab 9-5, and were roughly half an hour's travel away. I emerged at their location and smirked as I heard to the gal berating her man for turning out to be so daft. "Exactly how could you even find a way to fill the vehicle up by using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I wanted to tell her that this situation comes to pass frequently in Worcestershire and that it's actually nothing at all to be anxious about, but he yet still got an ear bashing by his missus. Unlucky lad. In any case, I removed the contaminated fuel, gave the motor a flush and gave it some appropriate fuel. Watching as they drove off I mouthed farewell and considered what my missus would say to me if I made the very same mistake... I would never hear the end of it!

It truly was what we call the graveyard shift. It was about dawn and hardly anyone was about. It had become fairly quiet until now, and Paul and I were loafing looking through a couple of old magazines. That was an unusual peaceful moment in Worcestershire. It was in fact so tranquil that when the phone eventually rang it made me jump! The motorist on the opposite end told me: "I've just completed my overnight shift and foolishly poured petrol in the partner's Smart Forfour by mistake". I told him to tell us where the vehicle was and we set off, arriving in Sharpway Gate an hour later. The contaminated fuel was extracted from the vehicle and he said thanks for arriving so rapidly. While we were heading back to the office we saw two girls on the side of the highway who appeared to have a flat. Accordingly we pulled up to change it, to their delight.

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.
