It was after seven pm on a Monday and though we were assured a dry day, it had not stopped raining! Paul and me were resting talking over the recent sports rankings, ready for the 6th telephone call of the day to arrive. Before long we got a phone call from a lovely woman on a company trip who had pulled into the BP petrol garage in Winterbourne Monkton and put the wrong fuel in a diesel cyan Hyundai rental car. The poor lady was fairly agitated it seemed, crying "I still cannot believe that I've destroyed the vehicle! I am so familiar with putting unleaded in my petrol vehicle that I totally forgot I was driving a diesel!" We asked her to calm down and not to fret, also that these things do happen. She was able to get the car to a safe spot and, as it was no more than a short distance off from the office, we could get to the customer almost instantly. The contaminated fuel was extracted so she was able to go home to the Travelodge she was staying at. Despite the fact we got very drenched, it was all worth the effort seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less stressed. One more misfuel correction in Wiltshire well done in my opinion!

The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If you find you have the wrong fuel, or even contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can certainly get it out. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking spot we can gain access to the storage and drain out the fuel. We have carried out quite a few fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded or diesel, is actually an important condition to handle in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your fuel is going to bring about idling issues, lumpy running, abnormal smoke and, if not remedied properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can solve both situations rather quickly.

Bear in mind however that in the event that the vehicle was run with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one is going to be completely water-logged and ineffective.

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! 7:30 am on a sunny Sunday and we were en route to help an older lovely lady after she had put petrol in her diesel friend's Seat Toledo in Winterbourne Monkton. She informed us that she had left the petrol station and pulled up on a rural road along the way to pay a visit to her family. I popped her location in the TomTom and got there in less than 60 minutes. I reached the car and extracted the contaminated fuel from the vehicle. While I was doing it she said to me, "I am getting somewhat absent-minded in my senior years and didn't remember about the vehicle using diesel because I'd only just bought it a couple of days ago right after my previous one, which I had used for more than 25 years, finally broke down". I got the drain done and she presented me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. What a pleasant Wiltshire woman!

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.
