It was just after 10 pm on a Tuesday and despite the fact that we were assured a rainless night, it hadn't ceased raining! James and I were seated going over the sports results, ready for the sixth fuel drain to arrive. Before long we got a call from a girl on a business excursion who had pulled into the BP filling garage in Downham and put the wrong fuel in a diesel modified Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 rental car. She was quite irritated apparently, stating "I still can't believe I have ruined the car! I'm so used to filling up my petrol vehicle that I completely forgot that I was using a diesel!" I just advised her to take it easy and not to fret, and also that things like this unfortunately happen. She managed to get the vehicle into a secure space and, seeing that it was no more than a short distance away from where we were, we were able to arrive at the lady quickly. The contaminated fuel was cleaned up and removed so she was able to once again go back to the motel she was residing in. Although we got fairly soaked, it was all worthwhile seeing her drive off satisfied and a lot less stressed. A fuel drain in Essex done well in my mind!

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it's petrol or diesel, is without question an important situation to handle in a car - specifically in present-day common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in your fuel can certainly produce idling difficulties, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not taken care of properly, in some cases ruined injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to get rid of in comparison with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. However we can deal with both situations pretty quickly.

You should know however that any time the vehicle was run on the water contaminated fuel it will very likely require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the old one is going to be totally water-logged and useless.

Ahhh, that was a great night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:30 on a bright Wednesday and I was en route to assist an elder lovely lady who had put petrol in her diesel deep grey BMW 325 in Downham. She informed us that she had driven away from the filling station forecourt and was broken down along a backwater road along the way to visit her grandchildren. I popped her location in the Satnav and got there within an hour. I turned up at the stricken lady and extracted the contaminated fuel out of the car.

I completed the job and she gave me a peppermint and said thank you. What a pleasant Essex lady!

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.
