It was around 8 pm on a Thursday and even though we were assured a rainless evening, it had not stopped pouring down rain! Brian and I were sitting discussing the weekend's football results, prepared for the seventh job of the day to arrive. In due time we got a call from a woman on a business expedition who had gone to the Esso petrol station in The Rampings and filled petrol in her diesel mustard yellow Kia Optima hire car. The poor thing was fairly troubled apparently, stating "I cannot believe that I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember I was running a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to be concerned, also that such things can happen. She had managed to maneuver the vehicle into a secure area and, as it was just a few miles from us, we could reach the customer quickly. The incorrect fuel was drained and she was able to return to the motel she was lodging at. Despite the fact that we got very drenched, it was all worth it to see her drive away calm and much less anxious. Yet another job in Worcestershire well done in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to a car or truck parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, tends to be a serious matter to deal with in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel will lead to idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if not remedied properly, oftentimes damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can solve both cases quite simply.

You should know however that if the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be thoroughly wet and unusable.

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.
