It was before 7 pm on a Saturday and even though we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Brian and me were seated talking about the rugby, waiting around for the next fuel drain to come in. Inevitably we received the phone call from a young lady on a business trip who had pulled into the Tesco filling garage in Lower Catesby and put the wrong fuel in her diesel sky blue Nissan JUKE lease car. She was fairly affected it seemed, saying "I can not believe I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" I just told her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that such things sadly can happen. She managed to get the car into a safe spot and, since it was just a few miles away from where we were, we could get to the lady almost instantly. The wrong fuel was removed so she could return to the hotel she was staying in. Despite the fact we got pretty wet, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive home contented and much less concerned. One more job in Northamptonshire done well in my books!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If you've got the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we are able to gain access to the fuel storage tanks and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards in the uk.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's petrol or diesel, is definitely a significant condition to deal with in a car - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can easily lead to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it's not remedied fully, possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out than water in diesel - this is mostly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to handle both circumstances quite easily.

You should know though that any time the vehicle was started with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted since the previous one will be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

A customer from Lower Catesby with her kids in her diesel matte black Seat Exeo had filled her vehicle with £45 of petrol at the BP filling station. She phoned us weeping and very upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel before and didn't know what could happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that the car should be alright and that she would be back ready to go in no time at all. When we arrived she was still distressed but as our fuel drainer began work on the fuel drain she simmered down as she noticed that something could be done and her car wasn't wrecked.

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.
