It was just after 5 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were promised a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't given up on raining! Ryan and me were resting there commenting on the tennis rankings, ready for the 8th telephone call to come in. Inevitably we received a phone call from a girl on a company expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys filling garage in Hetton-Le-Hole and put petrol in her diesel mom's Cadillac XLR lease car in error. The unfortunate lady was rather affected apparently, saying "I can't believe that I have destroyed the car! I'm just so accustomed to putting unleaded in my petrol car I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just advised her to settle back and not to be concerned, and that these things regrettably do happen. She managed to get the car to a safe position and, seeing as it was only a few miles away from where we were, we could get to the customer quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to return to the Premier Inn she was living at. Even though we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away relaxed and less stressed. Another job in Tyne and Wear done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about Wrong Fuel!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely an important issue to take care of in a motor vehicle - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue inside your diesel or petrol will likely contribute to idling difficulties, lumpy running, increased smoke and, if it is not taken care of properly, potentially damaged injectors. Water in petrol is easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we can handle both cases quite easily.

Keep in mind though that so long as the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

If it turns out you've got the incorrect fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly remove it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or situated near to a motor vehicle parking bay we will be able to gain access to the storage and drain out the contaminated fuel. We have done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

We not long ago had a call about a businessman who had put the incorrect fuel in his father's Volvo240 in Hetton-Le-Hole. He had ground to a halt on the road. "After inserting unleaded in my diesel car I didn't recognise the quandary until I broke down. You removed the wrong fuel from my car and got it running again. I was pleased due to both how quick you were and your charges". Needless to say we got there punctually and flushed the engine after draining the unleaded from the diesel tank.

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.
