It was about 9 pm on a Friday and despite the fact that we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it hadn't stopped pouring down rain! Ray and I were seated there commenting on the recent footy rankings, prepared for the next fuel drain to arrive. Inevitably we got the phone call from a woman on a business expedition who had arrived at the Sainsburys petrol garage in St Helena and put the wrong fuel in a diesel metallic grey Vauxhall Signum rental in error. The unfortunate lady was rather affected it seemed, crying "I cannot believe that I have destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle I had didn't remember that I was driving a diesel!" I advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that such things sadly do happen. She managed to move the vehicle into a protected spot and, because it was only a few minutes off from where we were, we were able to arrive at the customer right away. The contaminated fuel was drained and she could once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worth the effort to see her drive home calm and much less stressed. One more fuel drain in Warwickshire done well in my opinion!

The 3 things you NEED to know about a Misfuel!


Out of Fuel Support

Out of fuel in St Helena (out of gas - as an American might say)? We operate a comprehensive Warwickshire Run Out of Fuel Service. We will help to fill up your car if you are having difficulty on a motorway, roadside far from a petrol station, or just at your home. Our techs can come to you with 10-20 litres of the right fuel (bought at cost) and fill up your vehicle. They can also take care of the most common troubles which may accompany running out of fuel - for example airlocks, vehicle not restarting, , or maybe flat batteries caused by over-cranking.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, irrespective of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is definitely a significant matter to take care of in a vehicle - especially in modern-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in fuel tank can potentially bring about idling difficulties, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out correctly, quite possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared with water in diesel - largely because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can resolve both cases rather quickly.

Remember that as long as the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the old one will be thoroughly water-logged and useless.

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.
