It was after 6 pm on a Monday and although we were promised a dry afternoon, it hadn't ceased pouring! Brian and I were sitting talking over the golf rankings, waiting for the sixth call for the day to come in. Before long we received the call from a lovely woman on a business trip who had arrived at the Shell filling garage in Old Windsor and put petrol in her diesel sky blue Renault rental car by mistake. The unfortunate lady was fairly troubled apparently, stating "I can not believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol car I totally didn't remember I was using a diesel!" I just told her to calm down and not to worry, and also that such things sadly often happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a safe position and, because it was no more than a few minutes away from our van, we could reach the woman quickly.

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If there is the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close to a car parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have performed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is usually a serious condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel may well result in idling problems, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is quicker to get rid of than water in diesel - mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both cases pretty easily.

Remember that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will be completely water-logged and useless.

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.
