The 3 things you MUST know about Wrong Fuel!


Boat Fuel Drains

If there is the wrong fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most typically water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help you remove it. As long as the boat is either dry-docked, or situated close to an automobile parking bay we are able to access the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at piers and boatyards across the country.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious condition to deal with in a vehicle - especially in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in fuel may well result in idling problems, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, in some cases blown injectors. Having water in petrol is less difficult to remove as compared to water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. However we are able to deal with both situations pretty easily.

Be aware though that any time the vehicle has been run with the water contamination it will most likely require a new fuel filter fitted because the old one will undoubtedly be thoroughly water-logged and unusable.

Ahhh, that was a quality night of sleep! 7:30 am on a rainy Wednesday and I was en route to assist an older lovely lady after she had put contaminated fuel in her diesel silver Fiat 500 in Leigh. I'd been told she drove away from the filling station and stranded along a backwater lane on the way to pay a visit to her family. I plugged the location into the TomTom and got there inside an hour or so. I arrived at the car and drained the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. As I was doing the drain she said to me, "Now I'm getting relatively forgetful in my old age and didn't remember about the car taking diesel since I had just got it several days ago after my former one, which I'd owned for more than twenty five years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the drain and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my efforts. What a precious Worcestershire woman!

Wrong Fuel in Car London - Petrol in Diesel Car Leigh

Now I'm certainly not that enthusiastic about carrying out work Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same. I had only just come away from the family filled with a fantastic lunch made for me by the missus, and I was on the way to deal with a guy who put the wrong fuel in his grass green Toyota Land Cruiser. He was only in Leigh thus it wouldn't be a long time before I arrived with him. Just as I arrived behind the vehicle and started work he explained to me "Thank the Lord! I stupidly had my concentration on stuff and did not ascertain I'd put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about any kind of harm through running it?" I said truth be told there probably should not be harm and also I would get the wrong fuel drained right away. As expected I drained the wrong fuel from the car and filled up with some suitable fuel, and then one more delighted motorist had the ability to carry on with their traveling without the hassle. The gentleman could not stop thanking me, and that can make carrying out work on Sundays in Worcestershire a little bit less painful for me personally!

Wrong Fuel Doctor Leigh - Fuel Rescue Leigh

A customer from Leigh with a full car of little ones in her diesel burgundy red Ford C-MAX Hybrid had filled her vehicle with £42 of petrol at the filling station. She called us crying and extremely worried as she had never put petrol in a diesel car before and didn't know what might happen to her vehicle in doing so. We assured her that the vehicle would be ok and that she would be back up and running quickly. When we arrived she was still distressed but while our technician got to work on the fuel drain she simmered down since she saw that something could be done and her car wasn't ruined. She soon enough cheered up and was on the road again saying, "I can't believe my luck putting the wrong fuel in my car! Particularly with the children in the back."

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.
