It was close to 9 pm on a Tuesday and even though we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and I were relaxing talking over the weekend's sports, at the ready for the sixth call of the day to come in. Eventually we received a call from a lovely women on a company trip who had arrived at the Texaco petrol garage in Tidpit and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel brand new Seat Ibiza hire car. She was somewhat distressed apparently, crying "I just can't believe I have messed up the car! I am so accustomed to filling my petrol car I completely did not remember that I was using a diesel!" I just instructed her to relax and not to fret, plus that these things unfortunately often happen. She managed to move the car into a safe area and, seeing that it was no more than a few miles away from where we were, we were able to get to her quickly. The incorrect fuel was cleaned up and removed and she could return to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all rewarding to watch her drive away calm and a lot less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Hampshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, can be an important situation to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can easily bring about idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not sorted out effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to drain as compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to solve both situations rather easily.

Remember though that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be completely water-logged and useless.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you get it out. Assuming that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near enough to a vehicle parking bay we can reach the fuel storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

The owner of a faithful Lexus IS was regretful that he put petrol in his diesel car when he got onto the street and it spluttered and ground to a halt.

To tell the truth, when he initially phoned us he said he would like to shop around, but he called us back soon enough because our pricing and call-out times were the most appropriate.

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.
