It was after 9 pm on a Monday and although we were assured a dry and fresh night, it hadn't stopped raining! Dan and me were seated there talking over the weekend's rugby results, ready for the seventh telephone call that day to come in. Before long we had the phone call from a lovely women on a business trip who had gone to the Texaco filling garage in Wigley and put petrol in her diesel light blue Suzuki Vitara rental in error. The poor lady was somewhat agitated apparently, telling me "I can not believe I've ruined the vehicle! I'm just so accustomed to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely did not remember that I was operating a diesel!" I told her to settle back and not to worry, and that such things unfortunately can happen. She managed to maneuver the vehicle to a protected spot and, as it was only a short distance from our van, we were able to arrive at the lady right away. The contaminated fuel was removed and she was able to get back to the Premier Inn she was lodging at. Despite the fact we got fairly soaked, it was all worth it to see her drive home satisfied and not so anxious. Yet another fuel drain in Derbyshire well done in my mind!

The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's petrol or diesel, is usually an important situation to take care of in an automobile - especially in current day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue in petrol or diesel may cause idling difficulties, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it is not dealt with effectively, oftentimes ruined injectors. Water in petrol is easier to remove when compared with water in diesel - this is primarily because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to take care of both cases quite swiftly.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been started on the water contaminated fuel it will likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing that the old one will likely be totally water-logged and unusable.

Marine Fuel Drains

So long as the boat is either dry-docked, or secured close to a car or truck parking spot we are able to reach the storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've completed many fuel drains at marinas and boatyards nationwide.

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.

    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.

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.
