It was about 6 pm on a Tuesday and though we were promised a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! Dan and I were seated discussing the footy, waiting around for the next fuel drain of the day to arrive. In due time we received a phone call from a woman on a company excursion who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in Weedon Bec and put petrol in her diesel light green Jaguar XF rental car in error. The poor thing was somewhat irritated by the sounds of it, crying "I still cannot believe that I've ruined the car! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol car I completely forgot I was using a diesel!" I advised her to calm down and not to worry, plus that things like this do happen. She was able to move the car to a safe position and, because it was just a few miles away from us, we could arrive at her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was taken out and she could once again go back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all worth the effort to see her drive off calm and less anxious. A job in Northamptonshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about a Misfuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be a significant situation to take care of in a car - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel will likely cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not dealt with properly, potentially ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out compared to water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can solve both situations very expediently.

You should know that in the event that the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted simply because the previous one will likely be totally wet and useless.

Boat Fuel Drains

If it turns out you have the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or moored close to a motor vehicle parking spot we will be able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have undertaken quite a few fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

I'd had a fantastic afternoon hiking during the weekend and felt cheerful the following day as I headed out to aid a young couple on holiday in Weedon Bec. They'd broken down after putting the wrong fuel into their metallic blue VW Golf III, and were around an hour away. I emerged at their car and smirked to myself while I heard to the girl chastising her man for turning out to be so confused. "Precisely how could you conceivably find a way to fill up with the wrong fuel?" she told him. I attempted to tell her that this occurs on a regular basis in Northamptonshire and that it's nothing to be anxious about, however he all the same had an earful by his better half. Poor boy. At any rate, I drained out all the polluted fuel, flushed the motor and filled it up with the right fuel. Watching them drive down the road I mouthed goodbye and thought about what my missus would do to me if ever I made the exact same mistake... I would personally never ever hear the end of it!

Actually it was indeed that peaceful that the instant the telephone eventually rang I leaped! The voice explained: "I concluded my overnight shift and incredibly put petrol in the apple green Audi RS 6 by mistake".

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.
