It was before seven pm on a Friday and while we were guaranteed a dry day, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! James and I were seated talking about the weekend's rugby, waiting for the sixth call for the day to come in. Before long we received a call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Esso filling garage in Stoke Prior and put the wrong fuel in her diesel elegant Cadillac Escalade ESV rental car. The unfortunate lady was very distressed by the sounds of it, crying "I cannot believe I've wrecked the car! I'm so used to filling my petrol vehicle I had forgot that I was operating a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, and that such things often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle to a protected spot and, since it was just a short distance off from where we were, we could reach her right away. The contaminated fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got fairly wet, it was all worth it to see her drive home satisfied and not so stressed. Another fuel drain in Worcestershire done well in my mind!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant issue to take care of in a car - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank may lead to idling difficulties, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is less complicated to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both situations fairly swiftly.

Remember though that any time the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will probably require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the previous one will be totally wet and useless.

She had filled the wrong fuel in her diesel teal Mitsubishi Challenger and, like plenty before her, assumed that she could simply fill her tank with diesel and it would be alright. The vehicle was spluttering and then it died when she reached the the front of her work. We promptly went to work on the fuel drain following her call and had it resolved inside an hour or so while she was at work. She came outside afterwards and thanked us saying, "I'm extremely delighted you fixed my car."

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.
