Before long we received a call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had gone to the Shell petrol garage in Old Netley and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel classic Fiat 500 rental. The unfortunate thing was pretty affected it seemed, telling me "I cannot believe I've destroyed the vehicle!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most commonly water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near to a vehicle parking bay we should be able to reach the tanks and remove the fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is certainly a significant condition to take care of in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if not sorted out properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of than water in diesel - largely due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to resolve both circumstances quite quickly.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and unusable.

They had stopped after filling the wrong fuel into their baby blue Lexus LS, and the car was close to half an hour's travel away. I got there at their car and smiled to myself while I listened to the woman telling her husband off for actually being so foolish.

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:

    • 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.
