It was just after 7 pm on a Saturday and though we were guaranteed a rainless afternoon, it had not given up on raining! Ryan and I were seated there discussing the weekend's football results, ready for the 6th call for the day to arrive. Finally we got the phone call from a girl on a business excursion who had gone to the Esso filling station in Linfitts and filled the wrong fuel in her diesel mom's Jaguar hire car in error. She was rather troubled it seemed, telling me "I still can't believe I have ruined the vehicle! I'm just so used to filling my petrol vehicle that I completely didn't remember I was operating a diesel!" We told her to relax and not to fret, and also that these things often happen. She managed to move the car to a protected position and, because it was only a few miles away from the office, we could get to the customer almost instantly. The incorrect fuel was taken out so she could return to the hotel she was residing at. Although we got thoroughly soaked, it was all worthwhile to watch her drive away calm and a lot less stressed.

The 3 things you HAVE TO know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, whether it is unleaded petrol or diesel, tends to be an important situation to take care of in a car - especially in advanced common-rail engines.

Having water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can easily contribute to idling problems, irregular running, abnormal smoke and, if it's not remedied effectively, potentially ruined injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of compared to water in diesel - this is mainly because diesel is an oil. Even so we are able to resolve both cases very quickly.

Keep in mind though that if ever the vehicle has been started with the fuel contaminated with water it will very likely require a new fuel filter to be installed as the previous one will probably be thoroughly wet and unusable.

Motorboat Fuel Drains

In the event that you have the incorrect fuel, or perhaps contaminated fuel (most commonly water contamination or degraded fuel) in a boat we will help drain it. So long as the boat is either on land, or parked close to a motor vehicle parking bay we should be able to gain access to the storage tanks and remove the fuel. We have successfully done numerous fuel drains at docks and boatyards in the uk.

What a fantastic night's uninterrupted sleep! 7:00 on a rainy Sunday and I was off to assist an elder lady who had put contaminated fuel in her diesel new-shape Toyota Highlander in Linfitts. I had been advised she drove away from the filling station and broken down on a backwater lane on the way to see her family. I got the location plugged in the TomTom and arrived in less than an hour or so. I got to the location and drained the wrong fuel in the car car. Whilst I was doing the work she said to me, "I am becoming somewhat forgetful in my old age and forgot about the car taking diesel since I had only purchased it a couple of days ago when my other car, which I'd used for about thirty years, eventually died". I got the job completed and she gave me a Murray mint and thanked me for my efforts. Such a delightful Greater Manchester woman!

A lady from Linfitts with a full car of youngsters in her diesel son's Dodge Colt had filled her car with £30 of petrol at the Shell filling station. She phoned us sobbing and genuinely upset as she had never put petrol in a diesel and didn't know what could happen to her car because of it. We reassured her that the car should be ok and that she would be up and running very quickly. When we got there she was visible upset but as our fuel drainer started work on the fuel drain she calmed down because she noticed that help was at hand and her vehicle wasn't unfixable.

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.
