It was close to 10 pm on a Saturday and although we were promised a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't ceased raining! Brian and I were seated discussing the weekend's golf results, prepared for the seventh call for the day to come in. Eventually we received the phone call from a lady on a business trip who had arrived at the Esso petrol garage in Banham and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic green Kia Sedona lease car. She was quite irritated by the sounds of it, stating "I still cannot believe I have wrecked the vehicle! I am just so familiar with filling my petrol car that I completely did not remember I was driving a diesel!" I told her to relax and not to worry, and that these things regrettably happen. She had managed to move the vehicle to a secure area and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance from our van, we were able to reach her quickly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the hotel she was staying at.

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

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

Water or AdBlue in fuel can easily cause idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with fully, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - primarily due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Having said that we are able to handle both situations rather easily.

Keep in mind though that whenever the vehicle was started with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly wet and useless.

Marine Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Providing the boat is either on land, or parked close to a car parking spot we are able to gain access to the storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards throughout the country.

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 VA 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.
