It was around seven pm on a Saturday and even though we were guaranteed a dry and fresh afternoon, it hadn't given up on pouring down rain! James and I were seated there talking about the recent tennis results, at the ready for the sixth fuel drain for the day to arrive. Inevitably we received a call from a lady on a business trip who had gone to the Shell filling station in Clayhall and filled the wrong fuel in a diesel new Land Rover Discovery rental. The unfortunate thing was somewhat affected by the sounds of it, crying "I simply can't believe I have messed up the car! I am just so used to putting unleaded in my petrol car that I totally didn't remember I was running a diesel!" I just advised her to relax and not to be concerned, plus that these things sadly do happen. She managed to get the car into a protected spot and, since it was just a short distance away from our van, we were able to get to the woman fairly quickly. The contaminated fuel was drained and she was able to get back to the hotel she was living at.

We are licenced by the Environment Agency to allow us to extract and recycle waste fuel legally and safely.

Whether the fuel storage is an underground container, a mobile bowser, or perhaps even some containers in a shed, assuming that we are able to get to it, we can certainly drain it.

Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Water contaminated fuel, no matter whether it's unleaded petrol or diesel, is generally an important issue to handle in a motor vehicle - particularly in more modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in the diesel or petrol can cause idling issues, lumpy running, excessive smoke and, if it's not dealt with effectively, oftentimes broken injectors. Having water in petrol is a lot easier to drain when compared with water in diesel - mainly due to the fact that diesel is an oil. Nevertheless we can take care of both cases very expediently.

Remember however that as long as the vehicle has been started with the water contaminated fuel it will quite possible require a new fuel filter fitted seeing as the previous one will likely be totally water-logged and useless.

Wrong Fuel Assist Clayhall - Wrong Fuel in Car Clayhall

I'd had a perfect evening hiking on my afternoon off and felt pleased with myself the next day as I set out to aid a young family who were holidaying in Clayhall. They had pulled over after filling diesel in their sky blue Volvo240, and were approximately an hour away. I got there at their location and smirked as I heard to the girl telling her man off for being so silly. "How could you actually find a way to fill the vehicle up using the wrong fuel?" she said to him. I tried to explain that this situation happens regularly in Hampshire and that it's actually nothing to fret about, but he all the same got an earful. Unfortunate chap. Anyhow, I removed all the wrong fuel, gave the fuel system a flush and gave them some correct fuel. Watching while they drove away I mouthed farewell and wondered what her indoors would tell me if perhaps I did the exact same thing... I would never live it down!

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.
