Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination
Fuel contaminated with water, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is certainly an important situation to take care of in a vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.
Putting water or AdBlue in your diesel or petrol is likely to result in idling issues, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if it is not taken care of effectively, possibly ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to clean out in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we are able to solve both circumstances pretty expediently.
You should know that as long as the vehicle has been run with the fuel contaminated with water it will likely require a new fuel filter to be fitted seeing that the previous one will be thoroughly wet and unusable.
Marine Fuel Drains
If you find you've got the incorrect fuel, or contaminated fuel (most usually water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we can help drain it. Providing the boat is either dry-docked, or parked close enough to a car or truck parking spot we should be able to access the fuel storage tanks and remove the contaminated fuel. We've undertaken many fuel drains at piers and boatyards throughout the country.
Wrong Fuel in Car in DT11 Postcode - Winterborne Clenston Misfueling
Just had a great night of uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Bank Holiday Monday and I was en route to help an elder lovely lady who put contaminated fuel in her diesel trusty Mazda B2000 in Winterborne Clenston. She told us that she had left the petrol station and was broken down along a rural road along the way to visit her godchildren. I got her location punched straight into the Satnav and got there in less than an hour or so. I turned up at the car and extracted the wrong fuel out of the vehicle. Whilst I was working she explained, "I have been becoming quite absent-minded in my old age and forgot about the vehicle needing diesel seeing that I had only just bought it several days ago when my old one, which I had used for more than 25 years, inevitably gave up the ghost". I completed the job and she gave me a toffee and thanked me for my hard work. Such a delightful Dorset lady!

Wrong Fuel in Car Dorset - Petrol in Diesel Car Winterborne Clenston
It can't be fun grinding to a halt in a vehicle full of the wrong fuel halfway down the street. One of our last customers who filled her car with the wrong fuel (metallic green BMW 1 Series) in Winterborne Clenston suffered exactly this type of headache: "Unfortunately I mistakenly put unleaded in my diesel car a few days ago. I was so stressed about contaminating my fuel that I was besides myself. Fortunately I didn't need to worry because you were exceptional in fixing it."

This was what we call an unsociable time to be awake. It was around 3am and hardly anyone was about. It was rather quiet until now, and Brian and I were relaxing looking through several old newspapers. This was an uncommon calm hour in Dorset. Actually it was indeed that relaxing that when my mobile finally rang it made me start! The voice told me: "I have only just finished my night shift and stupidly filled petrol in my dark red Volvo XC70". We got him to inform us where the car was located and we headed out, arriving in Winterborne Clenston only half an hour later. The fuel was cleaned from the engine. He thanked us for getting there so promptly. While we were coming back to base we found two girls on the edge of the highway who seemed like they had a puncture. Obviously we pulled up 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
