It was just after six pm on a Saturday and despite the fact that we were promised a rainless evening, it had not ceased pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing talking about the recent golf, at the ready for the 8th fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a girl on a company trip who had pulled into the Esso petrol station in Chalfont Grove and put petrol in a diesel maroon Mitsubishi Expo lease car in error. She was pretty troubled by the sounds of it, saying "I simply cannot believe that I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I totally did not remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to be concerned, also that things like this unfortunately do happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a secure space and, seeing as it was just a few miles from our van, we could reach the lady right away. The bad fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was residing at. Even though we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off contented and a lot less anxious. Another misfuel correction in Buckinghamshire well done in my books!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is usually a significant issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel tank will likely lead to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both situations fairly swiftly.

You should know though that so long as the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will probably be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help you drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel tanks and drain out the fuel. We have successfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

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.
