Our engineer was called out to a service station in Heathfield when a young lady misfueled her grass green Renault Kangoo by putting petrol in her diesel vehicle.

As we'd promised she was exactly that, but also insisted on stating: "Your company is incredibly service oriented, I'm extremely happy that my car is okay," and that she would highly recommend us to anyone.

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is certainly a serious condition to deal with in an automobile - particularly in modern day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel will likely contribute to idling problems, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is easier to drain than water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can handle both circumstances quite easily.

Be aware that as long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can help get it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

The driver of a rugged Fiat Bravo was regretful that he had put the wrong fuel in his diesel vehicle when he got onto the street and it coughed and ground to a halt. "I've gone and put unleaded in my diesel car," is what he told us the first time he rang. To be honest, when he initially telephoned us he said he would like to comparison shop, but he called us back soon enough because our pricing and on-scene times were the most appropriate. Not surprisingly, our engineer had him carrying out his deliveries within the time period we had estimated.

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Heathfield

Now I'm certainly not that inclined to working on Sundays, and a while back was no different. I had just departed the family filled with a fantastic roast made for us by the better half, and I was en route to sort out a guy who had filled the incorrect fuel in his Ferarri red Peugeot 508. He was somewhere in Heathfield hence it wouldn't be a long time before I reached him. Just as I drove up behind the car and got busy draining he explained to me "Thank God! I incredibly had my thoughts on something else and failed to ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought on some harm simply by running it?" I explained that generally there should not be harm and that also I'd remove the contaminated fuel right away for him. Obviously I got the wrong fuel drained from the vehicle and put in the appropriate fuel, and then another contented motorist was able to carry on with their ride without any subsequent difficulty. The guy could not stop saying thanks to me, and this makes operating on weekends in Cambridgeshire that little bit less painful in my opinion!

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.
