It was after 9 pm on a Friday and even though we were guaranteed a dry night, it had not ceased raining! Brian and I were relaxing there going over the football, prepared for the 6th telephone call for the day to come in. Inevitably we got the call from a woman on a business excursion who had arrived at the Texaco filling station in Bromstead Common and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel metallic red Honda Ridgeline rental in error. She was somewhat agitated it seemed, crying "I still can't believe that I've ruined the car! I am so accustomed to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" I instructed her to settle back and not to worry, and that things like this unfortunately can happen. She had managed to move the vehicle into a safe spot and, seeing as it was only a short distance away from our van, we could get to the lady rather quickly. The bad fuel was removed and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was residing at. Although we got pretty drenched, it was all rewarding to see her drive home relaxed and not so apprehensive. A fuel drain in Staffordshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contaminated or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help remove it. Provided that the boat is either dry-docked, or secured near to a vehicle parking bay we will be able to reach the storage and remove the fuel. We have carried out numerous fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it is unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important condition to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in your petrol or diesel is likely to lead to idling problems, uneven running, abnormal smoke and, if it is not remedied fully, quite possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is quicker to get rid of compared to water in diesel - primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can deal with both cases pretty quickly.

Be aware that if ever the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly wet and useless.

Just had a quality night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a bright Tuesday and we were en route to assist an old woman after she put contaminated fuel in her diesel brand new Hyundai Scoupe in Bromstead Common. I'd been informed she drove away from the petrol station and broken down on a country lane on the way to see her family. I plugged her location in the Satnav and was on-scene in less than an hour or so. I got to the vehicle and removed the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing the work she said, "I'm becoming somewhat absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the car needing diesel since I'd just bought it a few days ago because my former car, which I'd had for about twenty years, eventually died on me". I got the drain done and she gifted me a Murray mint and thanked me for my work. Such a delightful Staffordshire woman!

And so, in case you've filled your petrol car with diesel, or put the wrong fuel in your diesel vehicle somewhere in Staffordshire, speak to us immediately. Our experienced technicians are all set and waiting for you.

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.
