Our engineer was called to a service station in Arborfield when a young lady put the wrong fuel in her well worn Mitsubishi Precis by putting unleaded in her diesel vehicle. She was in an aggravated and bewildered frame of mind but we quickly eased her nerves by telling her that we could be out to her car within an hour to do the fuel-drain and that the vehicle would shortly be up and running and she'd be on her way again. As we'd stated she was exactly that, but not before saying: "Your firm is extremely service oriented, I'm extremely pleased my vehicle is working," and that she'd suggest us to anybody.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to take care of in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in the fuel tank is likely to produce idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if not sorted out properly, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove as compared with water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we can deal with both circumstances very quickly.

You should know however that any time the vehicle has been run on the water contamination it will quite possible require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will likely be completely water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or old fuel) in a boat we can certainly help drain it. Assuming that the boat is either on land, or moored near enough to a car or truck parking bay we can gain access to the storage and remove the contaminated fuel. We've performed many fuel drains at docks and boatyards across the country.

It's no fun breaking down in a vehicle running on the improper fuel halfway down the road. One of our last customers who filled her car with the wrong fuel (light blue Volvo V40) in Arborfield suffered from exactly this type of trouble: "Your technician helped me remove my car from the live lane. He had it drained and had it running again in less than thirty minutes. Highly recommended."

This really was what is called an unsociable hour to be awake. It was roughly 3:30am and hardly anyone was around. It had become pretty uneventful until now, and me and Mark were sitting about perusing a few old articles. This was an uncommon restful hour in Berkshire. It was indeed so relaxing that the instant my mobile inevitably rang it made me start! The customer on the other end told me: "I've just completed my overnight shift and incredibly poured the wrong fuel in my diesel mate's Vauxhall Meriva in error". We told him to inform us just where he was located and we set off, arriving in Arborfield no more than half an hour later. The incorrect fuel was cleared from the vehicle. He said thank you for coming out so quickly. While we were returning home we noticed two girls at the edge of the road who looked like they suffered a flat. Accordingly we got out to change it, much to their elation.

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.

Normal Misfuel Signs and symptoms:
