It was close to 5 pm on a Tuesday and while we were promised a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were relaxing talking about the recent footy results, prepared for the sixth telephone call that day to arrive. Eventually we received a call from a lady on a company excursion who had arrived at the Esso petrol station in Brent Knoll and filled petrol in her diesel trusty BMW 645 hire car by mistake. She was pretty affected it seemed, saying "I can't believe I have destroyed the car! I'm so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle I completely didn't remember that I was using a diesel!" I asked her to take it easy and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately happen. She had managed to maneuver the car into a safe position and, since it was just a few minutes from us, we could find her without delay. The bad fuel was drained so she could once again go back to the motel she was living in. Despite the fact we got pretty soaked, it was all worth the time to watch her drive home calm and a lot less concerned. One more fuel drain in Somerset well done in my books!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it is petrol or diesel, is in many cases an important issue to handle in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel can cause idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not sorted out fully, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to deal with both circumstances quite swiftly.

Bear in mind though that as long as the vehicle was started on the water contamination it will probably need a new fuel filter to be fitted because the previous one will be completely wet and ineffective.

Marine Fuel Drains

If perhaps you have the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or old fuel) in a boat we will help remove it. As long as the boat is either on land, or situated near to a car parking bay we can gain access to the tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We have done many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards in the uk.

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.
