It was around five pm on a Wednesday and even though we were guaranteed a rainless evening, it hadn't ceased raining! Paul and I were relaxing there going over the golf, ready for the 8th job that day to arrive. Eventually we received the call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling station in Liddington and filled petrol in a diesel maroon BMW Z8 rental car by mistake. She was very irritated apparently, telling me "I can't believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I'm just so familiar with filling up my petrol vehicle that I had did not remember that I was driving a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to be concerned, also that things like this sadly can happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe position and, seeing that it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to find the lady almost instantly. The bad fuel was extracted and she could get back to the Travelodge she was living at. Even though we got pretty wet, it was all worthwhile to see her drive home relaxed and not so worried. Another fuel drain in Wiltshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you SHOULD know about a Misfuel!


Motorboat Fuel Drains

If you find there is the incorrect fuel, or perhaps 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 dry-docked, or parked near to a car parking spot we can reach the fuel storage tanks and drain out the fuel. We've successfully done quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards nationwide.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is in many cases an important situation to take care of in an automobile - specifically in current day common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel tank may well trigger idling issues, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not addressed effectively, in some cases broken injectors. Water in petrol is a lot easier to clean out as compared to water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. In spite of this we can take care of both situations quite simply.

Be aware however that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contaminated fuel it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be fitted as the old one is going to be totally wet and unusable.

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.
