It was about 10 pm on a Saturday and while we were assured a dry and fresh evening, it had not ceased raining! Paul and I were seated there commenting on the recent rugby results, waiting for the 6th job that day to arrive. Before long we received the call from a lady on a company trip who had pulled into the Shell petrol station in Newton Ketton and filled petrol in her diesel modern Mitsubishi Montero rental. The unfortunate thing was fairly irritated it seemed, crying "I simply can't believe I have messed up the car! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I just asked her to take it easy and not to worry, also that things like this sadly do happen. She managed to maneuver the car to a safe position and, because it was just a few minutes from the office, we could find her rather quickly. The wrong fuel was removed so she was able to get back to the Travelodge she was staying in. Despite the fact that we got fairly wet, it was all worth the effort to watch her drive home relaxed and much less concerned. Another fuel drain in County Durham well done in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, regardless of whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is in many cases a significant condition to handle in a motor vehicle - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the petrol or diesel can potentially lead to idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if not addressed effectively, possibly broken injectors. Water in petrol is less difficult to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. In spite of this we are able to take care of both cases fairly quickly.

Bear in mind that as long as the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely need a new fuel filter to be installed because the previous one will probably be totally water-logged and useless.

We are covered by the Environment Agency to allow us to get rid of and recycle waste fuel safely and legally.

Regardless of whether the fuel storage is a subterranean tank, a mobile bowser, or perhaps several containers in a shed, as long as we are able to reach it, we are able to empty it.

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 VA 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.
