Finally we got the call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had arrived at the Esso filling station in Skipton-on-Swale and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel white Volkswagen Touareg 2 hire car.

The 3 things you MUST know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is undoubtedly an important situation to deal with in a car - especially in modern day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can potentially cause idling problems, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied correctly, quite possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to remove compared to water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to handle both cases quite easily.

Keep in mind that so long as the vehicle was started on the fuel contaminated with water it will probably require a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

If perhaps there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help clean it out. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close enough to a motor vehicle parking spot we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at docks and boatyards throughout the country.

Wrong Fuel in Car North Yorkshire - Petrol in Diesel Car Skipton-on-Swale

I am not ever overly keen on doing the job Sundays, and a week ago was the same. I'd only just left home after a fantastic lunch made for us by the missus, and I was on the way to sort out a man because he filled the wrong fuel in his white Suzuki Sidekick. He was stationed in Skipton-on-Swale hence it wouldn't be long before I reached him. Just as I arrived at the rear of the vehicle and got out he told me "Praise the Lord! I stupidly had my mind on stuff and didn't perceive I have put the wrong fuel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about any damage through driving it?" I stated that generally there probably should not be any damage and also that I would drain the fuel as soon as possible for him. Naturally I drained the wrong fuel from the vehicle and filled up with some correct fuel, and thus another delighted motorist could carry on with his trip without the hassle. He couldn't stop thanking me, and this is what can make carrying out work on Sundays in North Yorkshire that tiny bit better in my opinion!

A driver from Skipton-on-Swale with her children in her diesel black Mitsubishi Outlander had put £30 of petrol at the service station. She called us crying and really worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and did not know what could happen to her vehicle because of it. We assured her that all should be fine and that she would be back on the road in no time at all. When we arrived she was still distressed but while our engineer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she recognised that something could be done and her vehicle wasn't ruined. She quickly cheered up and was up and running saying, "I really can't believe my luck putting petrol in my diesel car! Particularly with the youngsters in the back."

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.
