It was about five pm on a Friday and even though we were promised a dry day, it hadn't ceased pouring down rain! Paul and me were sitting there commenting on the recent tennis rankings, waiting around for the next fuel drain that day to come in. Eventually we had a call from a lovely woman on a company excursion who had pulled into the Tesco petrol station in Abbess End and filled petrol in her diesel modern Peugeot 207 hire car in error. The poor lady was somewhat troubled it seemed, stating "I still cannot believe I've messed up the car! I'm just so familiar with filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to take it easy and not to worry, and that such things sadly often happen. She had managed to maneuver the car to a safe space and, because it was just a few miles from us, we were able to arrive at her fairly quickly. The bad fuel was drained so she could get back to the Travelodge she was lodging in. Although we got thoroughly drenched, it was all worth the time to watch her drive off satisfied and less anxious. A fuel drain in Essex done well in my opinion!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, can be a serious matter to address in a car - particularly in present-day common-rail engines.

Water or AdBlue inside your petrol or diesel can potentially contribute to idling problems, irregular running, excessive smoke and, if not dealt with properly, possibly broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to remove in comparison with water in diesel - this is largely because diesel is an oil. Even so we can take care of both circumstances very expediently.

Be aware though that whenever the vehicle has been started on the fuel contaminated with water it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted because the old one is going to be completely water-logged and unusable.

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.
