It was about eight pm on a Saturday and though we were assured a dry day, it hadn't given up on pouring! Paul and I were resting discussing the recent sports results, waiting for the 6th fuel drain of the day to come in. Before long we got a call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Sainsburys filling garage in Coleman Green and filled petrol in a diesel apricot Honda Ridgeline lease car. The poor thing was fairly irritated apparently, crying "I simply can't believe I've messed up the vehicle! I'm so accustomed to putting petrol in my petrol car that I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things often happen. She had managed to relocate the vehicle into a secure position and, as it was just a few miles away from the office, we could arrive at the lady swiftly. The wrong fuel was cleaned up and removed and she was able to once again go back to the Premier Inn she was living in. Although we got thoroughly wet, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off contented and much less anxious. One more job in Hertfordshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help clean it out. So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or moored close enough to a car or truck parking spot we can access the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, regardless of whether it is petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to address in a motor vehicle - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your fuel tank may result in idling problems, uneven running, increased smoke and, if not taken care of effectively, oftentimes blown injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to drain as compared with water in diesel - mainly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases fairly quickly.

Keep in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be fitted simply because the old one will probably be totally water-logged and ineffective.

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.
