It was after 10 pm on a Saturday and even though we were assured a dry and fresh day, it hadn't stopped raining! Ryan and I were sitting talking about the weekend's tennis, at the ready for the sixth call to come in. Eventually we received a phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Tesco filling garage in Lea by Backford and put petrol in her diesel metallic yellow Fiat Scudo rental by mistake. The unfortunate lady was rather agitated apparently, saying "I can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I told her to calm down and not to fret, and that these things regrettably happen. She was able to get the car to a protected area and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from our van, we were able to reach the customer rather quickly. The contaminated fuel was taken out and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was staying in. Despite the fact we got thoroughly wet, it was all rewarding to see her drive away relaxed and not so worried. One more job in Cheshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is petrol or diesel, is without question an important condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in your fuel can potentially trigger idling difficulties, irregular running, increased smoke and, if it's not addressed correctly, possibly damaged injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both cases quite swiftly.

Keep in mind that if the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you clean it out. Provided that the boat is either on land, or parked near enough to an automobile parking bay we should be able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

A fairly alarmed motorist called us from the Shell filling station at Cheshire to advise us that he put unleaded in to his diesel partner's Honda Ridgeline; he wasn't really quite sure how he'd managed to do it. We explained to him it was not a worry and soon had our man with him to clean the contaminated fuel from his car. Having extracted the bad fuel, he was subsequently back behind the wheel. He told us; "I can't believe I put petrol in my diesel car. And the person who was sent to carry out the fuel drain was very nice - he didn't make me seem a fool."

This was certainly what is called an unsociable time to be awake. It was around 3:30am and noone was around. It had become pretty quiet until now, and John and I were loafing around looking at some old magazines. That was an unusual quiet moment in Cheshire. Actually it was indeed so tranquil that when the telephone eventually rang I jumped! The customer stated: "I've just completed my night shift and foolishly filled petrol in my diesel metallic blue Chrysler Grand Voyager". We asked him to inform us exactly where he was and we hit the road, ending up in Lea by Backford less than 30 minutes later. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed from the engine and he said thanks for showing up so fast. As we were returning to the office we saw two young ladies on the side of the street who looked like they suffered a flat tyre. So we stopped to change it, to their elation.

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.
